Thanks, guys.  

The A3000 seems to now be close to functional (just need a replacement coin cell battery, then hopefully it will again recognize the hard disk), so I think my nest strategy is to get it running then use it to make disks for the A1000 and A2500.

I'll let you know how it goes!

:pint:(The battery has nothing to do with the hard drive being recognized):pint:

As you can see, the NVRAM only manages options; there is nothing that has to be set for the controller to work:
NVRAM ~~~~~     The A3000 also has a NVRAM configuration which is powered by the same battery which the clock is.  It supports the setup of the following:      
SCSI Controller ID:    This places the onboard SCSI controller  at a specific ID location, 7 by default.  You can change this to something else,  to get a device at 7.
Long SCSI Timeout:    This slows the boot process for SCSI drives, for those units which take longer to spin up and be ready.          
Synchronous SCSI:    This enables Synchronous SCSI mode, which can speed access on some drives.  This is fully operational on Kickstart 3.1.      
Multiple LUNs Mode:    This enables multiple LUN's, which allows  for multiple drives at each address.
