- > ROMS?!?!? Are there ROMS available for the 3000 now?

- Has been for quite a while.

- > a while?
-
- 1.3 kickstarts will not survive reboots. Neither will any other kickstart
- version, including higher versions. I would not recommend you to downgrade to
- the 2.04 ROMs. You'll be much happier with the kickstart in fast 32-bit RAM
- anyways.
-
- > Is boot time any faster?
-
- That depends. If you can stand slower speed with the kickstart in ROM, the
- answer is: Yes, 1-2 seconds approx. Wow. :) Otherwise: No, considering that
- CPU FASTROM will reboot your machine an extra time.
