And "June" you would call "quite a while away"? But sorry, I don't
have a real date at hand, too.

As far as I read between your lines, your A3000 runs and is alive?
Then it simply *has* ROMs (or EPROMs)! If ROMs are released, take
out your current EPROMs (sort of boot ROMs) and replace them with
the real things. The A3000 board I know has indeed 4 places for
such ROM chips (I assume historical reasons). But you really only
need two of them, the other two may remain empty.
