Well..these roms dont have a white paper printed and glued to the rom. They have all the info printed straight on the top of the rom..and besides...the paper that comes with the roms says.."A1200 roms"...
But..now i wonder what would happen if i try them on the A3000...would i damage something? Becasue if nothing wrong could happen (otherwise than the machine doenst even booting), then i could just try them out and see, right?
But...i dont want to fry them!! I paid a lot of money, waited a long time for them to arrive..so i want to be 100% sure
I think all roms are somewhat 100%pin compatible.(as long as they are the same size) The thing that differs them are the contents. Your A3000, for example, has an onboard SCSI whereas an A1200 has onboard IDE. Thus scsi.device, which is in the kick-rom is different. In my A4000T I have both onboard SCSI and IDE, so I have scsi.device(ide) and 2nd.scsi.device(scsi). Workbench.library, which normally is in the rom, is kept in sys:libs because there weren't place left for it the rom.
Conclusion: only "software" differs the rom's as long as they are the same size. As I recall, the A1200 and A3000 has identical 2x256kB roms. The A500/A2000 Kick3.1 roms are 1x512kB.
Just pop them in, you won't damage anything. But don't hold me responsible :-)
