There is the VGA out Enable/Disable switch on the back of the case (in between the VGA and Audio), but I'm sure you tried that already?

If it is a PAL A3000 you may need to switch to 60Hz (NTSC).

Many LCD's cannot handle the 50Hz output of a PAL A3000 VGA output.

As i sayed, i moved the jumper to NTSC mode

I am not sure that is enough, I think you must also change to NTSC in screen prefs?

but.......my a3000 when starts apear a kickstart menu, that says kisckstart 2.x hard disk or floppy and kickstart 1.3 hard drive and floppy, so i thin must be there some version of kickstart 1.3 for the a3000 ......

You DEFINITELY have kickstart 1.4 ROM chips inside your A3000.

This ROM allows you to load KS1.3 or KS2+ (including KS3.1) from hard drive or floppy drive.

There are official SuperKickstart (floppy) disks for KS1.3, KS2.04 and unofficial ones for KS3.1.

Do you have a hard drive? If you do then can forget about using floppy disks.

1)Rename your hard drive partition DEVICE NAME to WB_2.x (This must be done at the lowest level, not just change Icon name)

2)Copy the Superkickstart ROM image to your hard drive in the location DEVS:/kickstart

Where do I get a SuperKickstart 3.1 ROM image?

See your PM ;-)

For more information about making SuperKickstart floppy disks, and all thinks related to KS1.4 take a look here

BTW, C= NEVER made a SuperKickstart for OS3.1!

BTW, C= NEVER made any KS3.1, Super or regular!

They went bankrupt before launch and it was VillageTronic who eventually released it :-P

Anyhow (as I said early) there _IS_ an unofficial  SuperKickstart3.1 (An A3000 KS3.1 ROM with Bonus Code)

The bonus code contains the scsi.device driver and onboard fast RAM setup. Without it, you lose these features.

Hmm, maybe for 1.3. KS2+ contains all that.
