OS3.9 works fine on an 030/30 with 16MB ram (expect to have about 12MB free after loading WB - not including Chip tho ;-) ).

It's not too slow, and the ASyncWB tool is the best thing about the upgrade :-D

Probably because of manufacturing costs

You update the ROM in the first lines of the startup-sequence.  Unfortunately this means the Amiga needs to automatically reboot for the ROM changes to take effect.

Having a brand new ROM installed would save the need for the update and save up to 10 seconds while booting.
