installing a1200 3.1 roms

Yes I beleive you can fry things.
The roms should be inserted with the space on the left.
The motherboard has a nice white painted arrow on it telling you to do so. The notch on the IC also points to the left.

Note: swapping the roms will not fry anything but inserting them the wrong way; eg 180 degree rotated (notch to the right) or spare pins to the right may fry the roms.

Also make sure you are discharged before handling semiconductors. Grab the radiator or better use an anti static wrist band. I blew Roms once by just touching.

And all the information I just wrote is by head so can anyone confirm this. I dont want to be the cause of someones blown roms .

No offence mate, but why didn't you wait for an answer to your question? None of this shameless wasting of 3.1 roms would have happend. This is sure a sad day for.....wait I'm overreacting  ;-)

Well, the smart thing you did was sharing the knowledge.

Good luck finding new Roms
