Welcome Tom!
Sorry, no experience fitting the ROM's myself, my A3000 came with Kick 3.1 installed.

So now i think my Rom's are bad. Does anyone know if i could test the roms in an A4000 or A1200 to see if there is anything of a bootup phase?


PM me if you want to try them in one of my A3000's (Amsterdam)

@drbytes:

Offer still open if you have a possibility to come to Amsterdam. Preferably bring your whole A3000.
Have a rev. 9.02 3000 currently running Kickstart 3.1 (ROM).

Have you tried this:

ROM Speeds/Timing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some A3000 owners have noted that new 3.1 ROM chips can't be run at 25 Mhz.  Set the ROM speed at 16 Mhz with jumpers J150 and J151.


And ehr, you say you have the old 1.4 BootRom chips eh? Why bother at all? I just picked up a nice A3000 with the same chips and decided not to change them for 3.1 but simply Softkicking... It's much more versatile this way. You can actually make different partitions with different ROM'S. I can even fallback to 1.3 or 2.0.... :)
