If you have 27C400 or equivalent ROMs in your A3000 than you already have 512KB of unused ROM capacity. The trick is in how to use it:

I have a set of re-programmable ROMS with a custom 3.9 ROM plus patches.  Problem is compatibility eg can't boot into Workbench with no startup because the loadWB command won't work from CLI,  For me this was a deal breaker, and so I took them out.  I could get them re-programmed with something more compatible I suppose, but it means spending more money *sigh*

You probably created a dependency problem when you built those 3.9 ROMs. If you look at the Remus documentation you see that some modules/libraries have dependencies on others. For starters make sure you have LoadWB in C: and 3.9 compatible workbench and icon libraries in libs:

Good info there, it may of been a case of bigger eproms and the floating aqddress line.I was testing on a old rev7 at the time i believe. i had sworn it worked but originally i may of tested on a 9/02.

thanks for the info.

I purchased a pair of 3.1 ROM's which were in fact 27C400s. I also have the rev. 8.9 mobo which leaves pin 1 of the ROMs floating. I Never had a bit of trouble with them even when the mobo was over-clocked and ROM timing was set for the fastest speed. They had a mirror image burned into the upper and lower 256KB of each ROM so they would have worked with pin 1 to GND or VCC although left floating is usually resolved as a logical high by the internal address buffers.

I also have a pair of TC574200 which I burned a 512KB 3.9 ROM image into using the mirror method which worked fine with pin 1 floating also. It wasn't until I did the 1MB ROM hack that I finally got around to connecting pin 1 to A19! But that's just my personal experience. :razz:
