What model is it? ?The masters have the socket, but need a
plug-module. ?Model Bs generally don't have anything - if it's got a
socket, then it may have had the rest of the electronics fitted. ?But,
yes, you'll need an NFS (or ANFS) ROM as well.

Apparently the only problem with running Level 3 is with the formatter
- it's been modified to get L3 running on the CF cards at the show, so
that would probably work with the GoMMC too. ?I did have a quick go at
it a few years back when I first got my GoMMC, but didn't persue it as
I decided I didn't want to tie it up as a fileserver when I could use
it for more general stuff.
