Hope these pictures will help. Observe that although it works for me it might not work for you, so be causious.

RomTower
Ver.7.0
16MHz_@28.37516MHz
The_correct_way
Sitting_in_U182_U183
Overflipped
The  _correct_jumpers

As you can see on the "Overflipped"-picture the "1" rom is on the right and the "0" rom is on the left side as it should be when you turn the romtower over. The "1" rom should still be on the right side i.e. towards the back of your Amiga (where all the external ports are).

EDIT: I´m soooo sorry, the pictures and statements I made about the settings was totally wrong. However it shouldn't have burned anything, it didn't do it for me anyway. I have now corrected the pictures and settings so now they are right. I have even tested my A3000 with these settings.
drbytes was right. :-)

Got your PM :-)

Hmm.. they shouldn´t be wrong because I haven´t touched the roms after I turned this Amiga off for some parts for my A3KT. To be absolutely sure, I will put the chips back and test it. But I´m pretty sure that is why you have to use the romtower, a flaw in the production of these motherboards was made and they fixed it with a romtower instead of making a new motherboard.

I´ll test it later(much later)tonight and post the results.  :-)

@drbytes, you were totally right about my roms and I bow in shame.

I corrected the pictures now, if you want you can verify them. :-)
