I managed to get AGS 3.0 going on my A600GS by doing the following:

1. Download the AGS Classic AGA 3.0 - SCSI/Kickstart fix version (I couldn't get it working with the non-fix version)
2. Unzip the archive, rename the .img file to .hdf and copy to a USB stick
3. Boot the A600GS to the menu
4. Create a Custom Setup as A4000 (I used the KS 3.2 ROM), 2MB Chip + 8MB Fast memory
5. Add the AGS .hdf file on the USB to the setup - note that for me this took about 30 minutes to copy ...
6. Save

My Custom Setup stopped working after I'd tweaked the settings and resaved (KS no disk screen on startup). Deleting and reloading the hdf got it working again.

I tried a couple of them, some USB 2.0 and some 3.0. All work fine...

Currently I use Ugreen USB 2.0 Hub 1/4 1m because it has 1m long cable. Easier to mount underneath the desk so there is no cable mess when using multipe usb joysticks etc...

 

Looks like we've got a new version. Something to test on the A600GS when there's time!

Yes, it was released on Christmas Eve. If you figure anything out, let me know. Some people have already managed to install it successfully on the 1200NG from a CF card.

I did all the possible measurement (again) and all the traces looks good. I also removed 68K, Denise, Agnus and the PCB looks perfect under that and redone a DiagROM test, same results.
Now the only available thing I can do is to replace Paula and/or Agnus that probably is faulty.
I'll look in the nearly places if I can find some parts and let you know the results.

Thank you all and Merry Christmas for now!
