- I installed 3.1 ROMs in my A3000 a while back with no problems. The only
- thing I had a question about was answered by the folks I bought the ROMs from
- (ACS in Sacramento, CA). According to the docs that came with the ROMs, it
- said to install the ROM 0 into the socket marked ROM 0 and described its
- location. I looked at the motherboard and found that the sockets were
- labelled opposite to what the docs showed. I called ACS to verify wether I
- should follow the docs or the motherboard. They chcked and called me back to
- say follow the docs. I did and had no problem with the install. I did not
- need a ROM tower either.
