[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] 3000 Rom Sockets

gouty@rotelle.cis.ohio-state.edu (douglas walter gouty) (05/04/90)

	The picture of the motherboard in AmigaWorld shows 4 rom sockets. 
2 that are filled and 2 that are not.  What are the 2 that are empty for?
Might they be used to put 1.3 in a 3000 along with 2.0???

	Are their any specifications available for the new networking
hardware?  I need some sort of spec list including propiganda to show to the
powers at be here at OSU.  Anything at all would be appreciated.

The sockets simply provide two different pinouts, one compatible with masked
ROM's and one compatible with the preset generation of high-density 16-bit
EPROMs.  I wouldn't expect both sets of sockets to persist...
