Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Need assistance with A3000D ROM 3.1 upgrade
« Last post by bjjones37 on April 23, 2024, 02:17:19 AM »I have and Amiga 3000D that I purchased a BigRAMPlus card for. It is currently configured to softkick Kickstart 3.1. When I put in the memory card to the Zorro slot at bootup it says that the card is defective. I assumed that is was because I was using 1.4 to softkick 3.1. So I purchased new 3.1 ROMs and installed them. All I got was a black screen. The installation picture provided by the vendor shows a different version of the motherboard than mine. I have Rev 6.1.
The example picture shows bare solder pads where the ROM jumpers are supposed to be. Mine has Jumpers J180 and J181 both jumpered 2-3. Do I need to remove these?
I have the Alpha 5 ROMs in sockets U182 and U183 on my Rev 6.1 board where example board is bare solder pads. Are any special modifications required? Because pulling out my ROMs (or should I have left them in?) and putting the 3.1 ROMs in U180 and U181 simply did not work.
If someone who has done this before can give me some tips I would appreciate it.
