    the reason real roms are needed is that the 1.4 rom on the motherboard loads the rom image from your hard drive using cpu routines that only work on a 68030 chip. a 68040 or 68060 that attempts to use those routines will crash. nothing will be displayed as error message.
    3.1 rom are increadably easy to install and usually cost around 35 USD. softwarehut  www.softhut.com has them in stock. check in online catalog-operating systems and emulators-os3.1
Oh yeah?!?
Well your stupid bit is set,
and its read only!

BTW most a3000d's wont boot without some scsi drive connected because the onboard termination on many of the motherboards is set wrong.

oh another BTW dont do the _int2 patch unless you have to. that patch is only to allow cpu boards WITH scsi to operate because the a3000d cpu slot doesnt have the _int2 line that is needed to enable the scsi dma channel. a3000ts and 4000s and 4000ts have this line. 3000ds do not but most cpu cards without scsi will work perfectly without the patch.
