You know... I ran into this same exact scenario a couple of months ago. According to the BBOAH, the Denise chips should be 100% compatible - but they are not. Unless there are different part numbers and revisions specific to certain models that aren't exploited, I am at a loss as to why you can't simply swap 'em out. Weird. It's not like the A3000 version is a true 32-bit chip or something.  :lol:

Or is it?  lmao

Did you remember to plug the daughter board back in before testing?  A Denise chip from an Amiga 2000 should also work.  Afterall, the Amiga 3000 is nothing more then an Amiga 2000 with the A2091, A2320 Amber, and the Commodore 68030 boards built in.

Add the fact it's natively a 32-bit machine (unlike the 2000), based on 32-bit bus architecture  :)
