- Didn't get that far yet. The beast simply doesn't work. It might have to
- do with the modified SCSI stuff (the 3060 ships with a SCSI chip socket
- where one pin is replaced by a cable from the WD33xxxx chip to the 3060)
- When I power on the A3000 simply stops at the point where it should access
- the internal disk.
- Hotline says it might be "contact problems" and "it should work".
- I'll call them again tomorrow. I'm a wee bit upset, I must say.
