congrats on your new amiga 3k! Welcome back to the club.

I love these guys recommending you impossible to find hw. (Like a Deneb - they dont make them anymore and are near impossible to come by. Same with the Dmac and Ramsey chips. Not only this if you do find these items you will pay $$ dearly)  You really dont need to update the buster if you arent doing a lot of zorro expansion.

As a side note, some LCD monitors work very well with the built in Flicker Fixer (best feature of a3k)

and YES the A3000 is THE WORST hands down Amiga to work on. (as you can see)

Oh and ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING: DONT PULL THE A3k battery without replacing it immediately IIRC the A3000 NVRAM is stored in battery memory and this controls the scsi..
