- Have you tried with 1.3 after you replaced the ROMs? It sounds to me like you
- have a bad set of ROMs (or maybe just put them in the wrong sockets).
-
- Try booting up with the right mouse button held down. You should get the
- 68000/68020 selecter screen. If you don't even get that, I'd suspect the ROMs.
- If you get a screen that also lists AMIX as an option, those aren't V7 ROMs.
