The fat agnus from the a500 is only a one meg chip. Wouldn't work even if you pulled the zip ram, and would result (I imagine) in a green screen.
Red screen is a bad ROM. Pull and check the roms for bent pins, replace ROMs and the zips and original 2 meg agnus. See what happens after that.

I'm having the green screen problem with my A3000T also. Waiting for a replacement agnus.

Good luck, the A3000T is an awesome unit.

hmm...   I looked and looked, but could not find anything on the 8273B.  Must be some kinda super secret "military spec" chip.  Either that, or you transposed some digits...  :-D

I also see the poster of this thread confirm that a 8372A works in his A3000:

Could you verify if it would work? Thanks


Looks like from the other topic, that the 8372A one meg chip may function in the A3000. I'm not gonna start chip swapping to find out though...

Soooo many variables...
