Description: This A3000 Rom Tower is required to upgrade an Amiga 3000 system to 3.1 roms.  This is your chance to update the A3000 operating system.


My A3000D shouldn't be running 3.1 roms unless I have this unit?

heh  Take a look at the bid history :banana: :banana:

I was wondering the same thing until I looked it up on Amiga Hardware. Apparently version 7 (and maybe others?) used this rom tower. I also looked up the installation of 3.1 roms for the A3000 and it says just to replace the roms in the tower.

So, unless you just want to buy another rom tower and put the 3.1 roms in it and switch out, it's not REQUIRED.

I have a revision 9/03 and didn't need this.
