Hi, I wonder if you will ever shut up going on about this. Buying 3.1 roms will give you a spead increase, because by the looks of it your loading the rom into chipram, which is slow on the old access, If it could go into fastram it would be a lot quicker, but lets face it the GVP card sucks in many respects. I have a little A1200 with OS3.9 installed, it used to softkick to 3.1 roms but now it has real roms in, I saw no speed increase, but that was becuase I was softkicking to fastram in the first place, the Blizzard 030/50 mkIV totally rules the 030 acc market for the A1200 without a doubt :-)
