Amiga 3000 kickstart question

[barney]

Sombody here may be able to answer this qustion I have.  Is it better for me to softboot kickstart 3.1 or install kickstart 3.1 ROMS?  I read somewhere on the internet that installing the 3.1 ROMS makes the computer much slower and very unstable.  Somobody even said that they had to slow their MHZ down from 25 to 16.  If anybody has any input to this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks Amigadave.  I currently have the A3000 with the boot tower and 1.4 roms.  Are you saying that I some places sell a sofboot version of kickstart 3.1?  I have heard it mentioned before but all I ever seen myself is A3000 kickstart chip ROMS.  If you know of a place that sells the sofboot version, please tell me where it is.  thanks.

Can sombody tell me the minimum kickstart required to run OS 3.1?

Yeah, I think you guys are right: actual 3.1 ROMS are the best option.

Bonami, I can't remember where I read all that negative talk about installing 3.1 ROMS in the A3000.  But to sum everything up, they stated that it made their system unstable and that they had to jumper it from 25mhz to 16.

When I do buy actual roms, do I remove the 1.4 roms from the ROM tower and install these in their place?  Thanks
