A3000 Softkick
« on: February 06, 2005, 12:49:30 AM »
Hi folks!
I just dug out my dear old A3000D out of the cupboard today. I haven't used it for years, and I was pretty sure the battery had leaked it beyond any rescue. But to my big surprise it booted instantly when I turned the power on. It seems to be nothing wrong with the hardware.

The system disk is however long gone, and with it the kickstart file. I remember having kickstart 3.1 on disk to boot the system. All I get now is a "kickstart menu" right after powering up.

Anyone knows where to get the kickstart file? Can I "dump" 3.1 from my A4000T for use in the A3000? Any legal issues with this?

Thanks for the advice!

There are two ROM's marked 390629-02 ROM0V5 / 390630-02 ROM1V5 in U180/U181, I guess the 3.1 ROM's goes in here, right? There are also two empty slots marked U182/U183 with labels ROM0/ROM1, any ideas what these are for?

Would there be any issues with the A3640 in A3000, or does it plug right in?
