- I think the problem lies not in the ROM's nor in the 3060...
- but in the internal SCSI-Host of the A3000 that in most cases
- will not work with anything higher than a 68030.
- This could be the reason why you get the startup-screen but cannot

- AFAIK there were replacement chips for the A3000 when the A3640
- board was released, but these chips are no longer available.
- I think the best solution would be to spend some more money and
- buy a SCSI-Controller cards like the Fastlane Z3 or the 4091.
