Agreed - the expanded A2000 will beat the stock A3000 easily in all areas!

The A3000 desktop case can only hold two floppy drives and one hard drive internally. There's no room (and no faceplate) for a 5.25" device, so that rules out internal CD drives, unlike on the A2000...

Hi,

Where/how have you mounted the second hard drive? Just curious!

I need the two floppies as one is driven by a Catweasel card...

But I'm open for suggestions as to where an additional hard drive could be placed (securely!)...

Ah! Good idea!

Will have to give that a go, though I hate taking my A3000's case off as it never seems to go back on properly!

Cheers,
