#Installing OS3.1

The older chips must me removed and replaced with the newer ones. If your older
ROMS have a -1 and -0, replace them with the newer ones exactly the same way.
If the older ROMS don't have a -1 or -0, then read carefully and don't get
confused: The new ROMS will go in exactly the opposite sockets of what is
labeled on the motherboard! Motherboard Socket ROM0 will be chip A3000-1 and
Socket ROM1 will be chip A3000-0. If you put them in backwards, you really
shouldn't have broken anything. It took me a few swaps to figure out what was
going on. Give the machine a good 20 or 30 seconds to boot up before the Title
ROM screen shows itself. Good Luck…
Regards, Keith.
20 or 30 seconds? Why?
Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
Why 20 to 30 Seconds? Because that's just how long it takes for the Kickstart
ROM screen to appear. I was used to 5 or 10 seconds on my older 2.04 ROMS, and
started getting worried when the screen didn't pop up right away. If the ROMS
are in backwards, the screen won't appear at all.
Regards, Keith.
Thank you Keith,
After opening up the A3000 I realized that there was only two sockets U180 and
U181 and no jumpers Clement
