Dick: The story is I am up and running with no problems at all, well none with the WB. The ROMs went into the sockets as stated in the instructions: the ROM0 in the higher numbered socket (and named ROM1) and the ROM1 in the lower numbered socket (with the name ROM0). After that I rebooted, the old workbench came up and it seemed to run fine with the old workbench (2.04). However, after a while it crashed. I then rebooted with the install disk in and loaded 3.1 according to the screen instructions; all pretty straightforward. The final step was to click on the proceed button and the machine rebooted. It came up fine. The install even modified my existing startup files so that the system came up pretty much like it was before installing 3.1. However, the whole reason for getting 3.1 was to run AMax IV, but AMax IV does not run. It comes up with the correct screen, then the smiling Apple face and then it crashes giving an Error 8000 0003. I guess I will have to see if ReadySoft can come up with a solution. In your case what happens if you powerup and hold both mouse buttons down, do you go into the pre-boot screen? If this is the case, try booting from a floppy. If it doesn't go to the pre-boot screen, it would appear that it is more than the 3.1 software being installed as the machine does not go to any drive if it is in pre-boot stage. Try it and see what you get. The pre-boot screen has quite a number of options to work with. Maybe we can figure something out after you try this. Regards, and good luck, Norm
