I recently upgraded from an old A2000 to a used A3000.  Nice computer.  However!!  Occasionally
when I try to run a program, I get a requester saying that I don't have the correct
version of KickStart.  The A3000 apparently has v36.143 while some (many?) programs need v37.175
or higher (which my A2000 had).  I just bought the 2.04 OS upgrade about 6 months ago,
and it didn't come with a kickstart disk (or at least not that I can find -- somebody please
tell me if the upgrade kit is supposed to have one with it).

So my question is -- is there any way for me to get the v36.143 KickStart on my new A3000
without having to buy the upgrade kit again?  What the deal?  Is there some way to dump
the kickstart out of ROM on the 2000 onto disk and then just use it to boot the 3000?
Can somebody just e-mail me a lhwarp'd, zoom'd, or dms'd copy of a A3000 kickstart disk?
That's probably not strictly legal, but I really, really hate to have to buy the whole
upgrate kit again.

Any ideas?

Doug
