My A3000 came with kickstart 3.0 on a floppy which was then installed on the hard drive.  When I decided to upgrade to OS3.5 I purchased the Kickstart 3.1 ROMs from Power Computing, removed the softkick ROMS, inserted the 3.1's and never looked back.  You call always use a "degrader" program if you want to revert to an older kickstart for compatability reasons with a certain game.

They're still available for 26 Pounds at www.powerc.com.  Just click on the Amiga tab and search for "kickstart".

I can't get to my A3000 until later this month as I'm on business so I can't tell you what those sockets are off the top of my head.  If you haven't worked it out in a couple of weeks then I'll let you know.  I have a Buddha IDE controller I need to install in my A3000 when I get home so I'll locate the ROM sockets for you.  Power do include a set of instructions on how to fit them and which way around they go... if you order them then make sure you do exactly what is on the paperwork :-)
