I don't think this is possible. The ROMs for different Amigas depend on the specific hardware found in that Amiga. This is why A1200 ROMs can't be used in an A4000. The A3000 softkick ROMs are definitely tied specifically to the architecture of the A3000. I don't even think they'll work in an A3000T, the closest match.

If you really need to experiment, the safest thing to do is probably to build the FlashROM adaptor from Aminet and Flash in the various images you want to try. Be prepared for disapointment, though.

The Flash software is included with the adaptor plans.

Really, though, the odds of this working are zero or less. The 1.4 ROMs depend on the SCSI controller found in the A3000, the 68030's MMU, and various addressing schemes. Maybe, MAYBE you could get this to work with an A2000, 2630 board, and 2091 SCSI controller, but don't count on it.

Besides, you can only Kick in 1.3, 2.04, or a beta version of 3.1 (and not very cleanly, either) with the 1.4 chips. Might as well just do that with the Flash board.
