- If you have the 2.04 kickstart installed on the hard disk, you don't need to add
- a ROM for 2.1. All you need is the 2.1 workbench upgrade disks. I upgraded my A3000
- to 2.1 and it doesn't have the ROMs installed either. If you do want to add the ROMs
- I believe you need to get the A3000 2.04 ROM upgrade kit, which is separate from
- the 2.1 upgrade kit. Perfectly clear, right? Watch out for the setpatch program on
- the 2.1 install disk -- it crashed my machine.
