Workbench 3.1 on an Amiga 3000
« on: June 19, 2010, 05:01:19 PM »
Trust me, I did Google the question first ;)

I'm wondering if I can install Workbench 3.1 on my Amiga 3000. If possible, using only software solution. I don't mind buying a ROM chip tough, but I couldn't find one for the Amiga 3000.

I'm kind of a noob, I've read some places that I could ReKick the 3.1 Kickstart, but not sure how to proceed.

If I can't buy the chips or install it in a software solution, how can I install back my Workbench 2.1 if I don't have the disks.

Alright thanks to all!

Could someone point out the link to the 3.1 ROM for the Amiga 3000 on amigakit, was just able to find it on Software Hut, and I want to compare prices.

What ROM do you have in your A3000 now? If you have Kickstart 1.4, you surely CAN boot 3.1 Kickstart off your HD. Of course, you'd need that Kickstart file first and that's tricky enough securing if you don't have the ROM (you need an A3000 specific Kickstart ROM image). Screw Google. Do a search here for this info, what to rename the HD and all that good stuff.


I have the 2.04 ROM, so can't boot up with a 3.1 ROM in my HD. Ahh well, I bought a pair of 3.1 EPROM :)
