Need help for my Amiga 3000
![]() 1. Can I plug my 3.1 ROMs in original spots, same as v9 MB? 2. What are the default jumper settings for 25MHz MB, no accelerator. 3. Replacement MB does not have battery, will it work w/o it? My v9 was working... I did some trouble shooting and found out that the Keyboard buffer is not being emptied, which suggests that the CPU is not working, or ROMs are not working, will this be safe to assume? I do have A3640, but first I need to get the basic setup running Any help is appreciated, Thank you |

Just some notes:
1) you will need a Rom tower to use the 3.1 Roms, or you will need a set of 3.1 Roms in the proper format (different chip type) or an older rom (at least for testing). I might have a set, I'll post later tonight 2) No battery is not an issue Not really sure on the jumpers, and I would try without a 3640 first Good luck Quote:

I did find a set of the older format roms (at least will be good for testing). Send me a PM with your address

Did you plug your ROMs into the ROM tower, then plug the ROM tower onto the rev7 board?

Don't you need a working battery on a 3000 since it stores the HD setting needed to boot?

I got ROMS from desantii
![]() ![]() I need to sit down and see if I missed anything, it may be possible that the MB is gone, but I'm optimistic ![]() Any advanced trouble shooting to the component level would help, I got the schematic printed on 11x17in. |

Slow down the ROM access times, that may cure the problem.

No go..
![]() ![]() I will spend more time over the weekend on this, I may go back to the old MB and maybe find and fix the original problem. And because of my impatience I need to replace 2 PLCC sockets, they cracked during chip removal, very brittle sockets. |

I'd try it with original (1.4?) kickstart in ROM tower.
I never had luck installing 3.1 in A3000. |

With the roms I sent you should not need the rom tower, I am 95% sure of that..the 1.4s were from a 6.1 version with no rom tower

Remember that KS1.4 is 68030 only.
