Wanna get an good old MPC 3000 again and just woulk like to know.
In case it does, can I load up the 3.10 OS via floppy to the 3000 so it's stays in memory than like on the 2000xl?
Cause I remember the 3.10 OS for the 60 was on eproms.

Thanks in advance
Rob

Based on the subject title. No.

Vailixi 3.50 is available only as a set of ROM chips.

These ROM chips replace the existing versions installed in an MPC3000.

As for booting an OS from floppy ...

Booting an OS from floppy on an MPC3000 is not permanent .

The MPC3000 will revert to the what ever OS is in ROM on the next boot.

Booting from a version in ROM is the preferable method.
