The Workbench disk is absolutely 36.68.  The Kickstart version number
that you are running should be 36.141, and typing or selecting
"version" on an A3000 tells you so.  If you are a developer running
2.0 on a 2000-class machine using our special tools, version gets fooled
into reporting the Kickstart version of your real ROM, and not the version
of 2.0 you loaded.  People who see "34.5" are running with 1.3 ROMs.
I now know you have 1.2 ROMs in your machine, version 33.180.  Try the
"config" utility we provide to developers.  It apparently knows to get
the real version number.
