You are correct that the new 3.1 is needed for CD booting, and ROM support from the start of powerup. Their was a CIS conference with Dave Haynie a few months ago, and at that time he said a 3.1 ROM update wouldn't be required for 3.0 users. I assumed that the CD-filesystem could be accessed after bootup using a handler in the L: directory. This may have changed. All the kits being sold include the ROM, and if the graphics.library has been rewritten then a simple Setpatch may not be enough to update the 3.0 code.
