I have four Fastlane Z3 roms version v8.5 which is the most current/last version released. Happy to send a rom to anyone that has a Fastlane with an older rom. You can run sysinfo and look at 'devices' to find the version you're using.

V8.5 fixes a few bugs and also allows the use of an 060 processor.

No charge to those that need one.

Edit: Also, an FYI to others, I have 5 more Fastlane Z3 2.4 ROMS. Free to anyone with a Fastlane that would like to upgrade to the latest.

Just to add.. using a CLI/Shell you can just type the following: version z3scsi.device and this too will show you the ROM version 👍🏻
 
Thanks to everyone who PMed me. I still have 2 roms left if anyone needs to upgrade. Reminder: free, no charge!

You're very welcome. Wow, that arrived fast from Canada to Spain!

FYI: I have 2 roms remaining for anyone that wishes one. No charge.

I've had a few questions about the ROMs that I'd like to answer here:

The V8.5 roms fix numerous bugs and also allow for the use of an 060 CPU. Older roms do not.

Also, the V8.5 firmware roms do not allow you to use more than 64MB of memory. Some later versions of the Z3 (hardware version 2.4) allow for use of up to 256MB. Hardware versions 2.2 do not: 64MB is the max.

You may use firmware rom v8.5 on either hardware version 2.2 or 2.4.

Thanks all.

I've tested 8.5 rom on my 2.4 with 4x 16MB SIMMs, and the memory didn't work. I wonder if anyone had any actual success with using 16MB SIMM modules
 
Sorry for the late reply apolkosnik. Missed your message.

Do you have the jumpers set correctly for 16MB simms? I had a fastlane z3 hardware version 2.4 and I could get it to work with all density simms including 16MB, 64MB etc. It was just a matter of those pesky jumpers being set correctly.

Other than the memory not working, does the SCSI work on your Fastlane Z3?

Back to you,

J
