3.0 is included on the Mac OS 9 install disk. I used Tome Viewer
(from the MOL download page) and opened up the tome on OS9CD:Software
Installers:System Software:Mac OS 9:Istallation Tome. I extracted
the Mac OS ROM from that tome and then did the striprom thing on the
linux side.
Of course, I'm running 8.6, so this did *me* no good, but it might
help you (I'm using the 1.6 ROM) It gave me an error saying me
startup disk was not new enough (ie OS 9).
Hey! For all those interested I was pleased to see, of course, that
my Appleshare volumes were seen by other computers when launching
MOL, but I also thought it neat that Timbuktu Pro works just fine. I
can control my MOL screen from a remote computer. Very nice. As a
matter of fact, once sound works I may never boot into the Mac OS
again from startup ;) I"m sending this from Eudora within MOL.

discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny ..."
