I have a A3000 that give a solid yellow light and locks the system when you turn it on.
With no drive on the bus it boots from floppy just fine.
Here is what I have tried:
* Tried different SCSI, ramsey, and dmac chips
* Tried removing terminator resistors on mb.
* Tried many different drives.
* Tried adding mutiple drives to chain.
* Removed battery to lose NVRam settings.
* Turned off all options in nvram.
