For those whom have ever wondered...

Yesterday, I felt really brave.. SO

I put a 3.1 ROM from a broken 1200 into an A4000D hoping to
replace the 3.0 rom in the 4000 with parts I have lying
around (and therefore free!) I made an exciting discovery..

IT WORKS!!! Unfortunately, it disables onboard IDE.

The good thing is I have a second 4000D (3.1 rom) with an A4091 with
no attached IDE devices that suffers from the pain in the
@$$ ide boot delay.  Problem solved!

Now you know, in case you were ever wondering.

Cool..
 Do any zorro boards work in Z3 mode with the A1200 rom?
 I got a sneaky feeling it`ll only init the cards in Z2 mode.
 I could be(and often am) wrong :-)

Good question!  I'll do some further testing this weekend.  I've
currently shifted focus to a 3000D w/MK2 at the moment.

Aargh.. I've developed some form of double post bug..

I'd guess there might be other not so apparant problems that you might discover.  But, keep us posted.
