Hello,
I want to install the 1.3 ROM upgrade on my 2000 myself and forego
the dealer's fee of 30+ dollars. What I would like to do is verify
the location of the ROM on the motherboard:
------ | Power Supply |
| | ----------------------| I believe that it is the
| | | | | large chip immediatly to
| Is | | | | the left of the drive bays.
|this| | | |
|the | | Drive | Drive | Am I Right?
| KS | | 1 | 0 |
|ROM?| | Bay | Bay |
------ | | |
----------------------|
------------------+++-----+++--+++--
Keydb Mouse Joy
If it is not there, then where is it? Underneath the bays? If
so, then I think I'll just have the dealer do it after all.
Also, if anyone has run across any problems or tricks changing their
ROMs, I would appreciate your comments.
Thanks.

I'da said, "If you cannot tell the 68000 CPU from a ROM chip you are far far better off having a competant dealer replace the ROM. (On another paw, though, I might be a bit nervous about most dealers; but, that is another issue, nie? Perhaps a good solution is to find a local hardware hacker to do the job if the local dealer is not adequate.) -- Sometimes a bird in the hand leaves a sticky deposit. Perhaps it were best it remain there in the bush with the other one. {@_@} jdow@bix (where else?) Sometimes the dragon wins. Sometimes jdow@gryphon.CTS.COM the knight. Does the fair maiden ever {backbone}!gryphon!jdow win? Surely both the knight and dragon stink. Maybe the maiden should suicide? Better yet - she should get an Amiga and quit playing with dragons and knights.
