Course, you could just softkick to 3.1

Depends if his 030 accelerator board has an MMU. You cannot softkick (for OS usage) without an MMU

I think it's INSIDE the 030.

Either you have an EC030 (no MMU) or a full 030 (with MMU)

MMU jumper (J3) is in the bottom centre of the board near the edge connector.

Dunno what MMU support there is for this card in software...

This is not a board I am familiar with, having a full 030 stands you in good stead, but the most famous tool "BlizKick" does not claim to support this board.

What software are you going to use?? I dont think your accelerator has the tools to use the MMU for softkicking.

But I am probably wrong... I remember something about GVP called FaastROM which was something to do with this...
