yes, you can (and should) use A500/A2000 3.1 rom. All three machines use the same ROM. There's no 3.0 ROM for the 600/500/2000 btw.

Hi
 
I have bought this 3.1 kit:
 
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190342341676&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
 
for my A2000 and have one on the way for my A500+. It contains the ROM and the OS disks and will work on an A600 too. Oh, and at just over £15, the price is great too!
 
Hope this helps
==================
Amiga 4000/040 25Mhz - 18MB Ram-HDD-CDRW- Picasso 2 2MB GFX OS3.9
Amiga 2000/030 25Mhz - 10MB Ram - GVP HC+8 with HDD and CDROM OS3.1 and a DKB MEGAChip
Amiga 1200/030 50Mhz - 18MB Ram - CF>IDE OS3.1 Squirrel SCSI
A500+ 000/7Mhz - 4MB Ram GVP HD+ SCSI w/40MB HDD (WOW!!)
Plus a "few" more ;) hehe

Just as a quick side thought, has anyone seen an A600 towered. Scratching my head here. Just that the 600 out of the box has fairy limited expansion capacity. Saying that I have seen some amazing upgrades to the stock A600. Just not a tower.

Not a tower, but I put together this case for a bare 600 board I had lying around.  Gives you a little more room to upgrade, at least.
