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.
