- I've got a similar ROM-less a3000 and just went through this with the guy

- According to him:
-
- - as long as you've got a recent version of Kickstart (KS v37.175) all
- you'd need would be the 2.1 software upgrade package.
-
- - if you have an old version of kickstart you'd also need to get the a3000
- version of the 1.3->2.04 upgrade package with ROM. You'd end up with an
- extra copy of WB2.04 this way but as far as he knew this was the only way
- to get the a3000 2.0x ROM.
-
- - the '2.1 upgrade package with ROM' now available is for the a500 and
- a2000 machines. As far as he knew, a '2.1 upgrade with ROM' for a3000
- machines was not yet available.
-
- If he got any of that wrong, I'd like to know.
-
- I ordered the 2.1 software only upgrade package, too.
