One of the things that complicates the A3000 is the built in SCSI controller.

The settings for this are stored in NVRAM, but removing the battery also removes the settings. How you get them back in and saved properly is one issue.

Some A3000s require at least one SCSI device connected even to fire up and boot from floppy. That might be the core issue.

They certainly can play possum, that can mean they're just lonesome for a drive to talk to.
