Thanks for the post

What are 040 and 060 referring to?
What are the 3.1 roms - replacements for the one on the 2091 Card?

Thanks
David

Thanks for all your posts.
to summarize:

upgrade to 68040/68060 cpu's
Replace A2091 roms with 7.0 roms
Add flicker Fixer
increase HD
Install mega chip
Install 3.1 roms (what are these?)
add 24bit graphic adapter
add accelerator
Increase memory

Did I miss anything?
Where can I find this stuff apart from Ebay? (in Canada)
Thanks
