Bill: Yes, I get a "Loading Kickstart 2.x" and "Rebooting System" message very quickly when I power up. Perhaps I misled you about the ROMs: The ROM spaces I mentioned have no chips in them. They are instead blank areas on the motherboard, with an outline of a chip, and pads for mounting the chip. The two are labled ROM0 and ROM1. I was under the impression that it was in this place that the OS ROMs would go. However, after reading Erik's message, I checked the schematics of the A3000, and it appears that there may be socketed ROMs already (the boot roms) that I overlooked (I was peaking though the side while blowing the dust away…. I didn't take off the equipment platform), so it looks like there are actually *4* ROM places, two occupied by the boot ROMs which I didn't see, and the other two, with just "pads waiting for pins" on the motherboard. Could that be the place for the "A2000" ROMS that the schematics list? The "missing" ROMS seem to be U182 and U183. — AutoPilot Engaged! — Dave
