- well I is better to have The rom less a3000 Because it will
- be easier to upgrade it to newer Kickstarts!! I've got 3.1
- and when the Kickstart is in ram it runs much faster!!.
-
- I've also tried to put in a new harddrive but then the machine refused
- to find any devices on the SCSI bus!.
-
- By the way are you a student from NAU I've been living in Cottonwood
- and often been at NAU in Flagstaff!.
