Well the one I'm getting from a certain Mr. Kev Fairhurst :) says that is
what they are on; so I've basically taken that info and passed it on to find
out what exactly is involved.

So the sockets (i guess it's two the tower plugs in because A3K is 32BIT and
needs the lo-16bit word and hi-16bit word to make the full 32bits) which the
tower goes in can house a normal A3000 ROM? Mind you we are talking
Commodore here so it obviously made perfect sense to them.... ;)

Okay, I shall check that right away! Thanks! :)
