I thought you had to chage both clock source jumpers from internal to external??
I'm not pulling my A3000 to bits to find out, but you can't damage anything by trying.  I think I had to change them for my CS mk2.


Castellen is right, you need to set the clock jumpers properly and should be using 3.1 roms.  Try removing the MkII card and leave the drive tray out of the machine so you can get at everything, see if it boots off the 68030.  Then set the clock jumpers according to the MkII manual, it is on the web, plug in the MkII and it should fire right up.  I had the same problem on an a4000 till I set the clock jumpers.  Make sure you put in the daughtercard even though you leave the drive tray out.  Once everything works, put the drive dray back in.
