Just makes you wonder why there wasn't a drive bay for the cd-rom in the first place. A2000 had one (ok, probably for 5 1/4" floppy) and A4000 has one. Did the A3000 appear at a time when the 5 1/4" floppy was outdated but cd-rom had not quite made it into the mass market.
Sounds probable, but I think another possible factor in addition to those two above, was that Commodore was already starting to cut corners to reduce costs when the A3000 was designed.
@DarthX,
Yeah, it could turn out to be a real abortion cutting into a nice A3000D front bezel, but if they are careful and artists, maybe it could be done halfway decently.
