Note that if you have V.36 bootroms the A3640 040 (and any other 040 or 060) card will not work, the machine will not even boot.

This is correct, you'll need hard burned roms if you want
to run an accellerator.
A minor correction to the quote above, they are V 37.xxx roms.
Well, it is how I wrote, if you have v36 ROMs (2.0) in your 3000 (the original ones that booted a Kickstart image from disk) you need to upgrade to either v37 (2.04 or 2.05) or v40.x (3.1) in a Hardware ROM chip for a 040 or 060 to work. The A3000 2.0 ROM makes use of the 68030 MMU to remap the KickStart to RAM, this special code fails on 040 and 060 CPUs.
To confuse matters, the 2.0 ROMs in my spare 3000 are marked v5! Developer ROMs are 1.4.
3.1 KS was not released for softkicking the 3000, but does exist. v40.68.
In fact that is clearer, will upload it to my site ;-)
