What Size SCSI HDD are you currently using, I might be able to find you a larger SCSI Drive, I'm sure I have a few 500MB SCSI I Drives. Larger SCSI HDDs (2GB +) are usually UW and require an adapter.

Although You can buy a Mediator 3000D  PCI Interface from Elbox it would require that the A3000 be placed in a Mirage 3000 Tower which is no longer available.  With the Mediator the Spider Card could be used for USB Devices.

I don't believe the GREX PCI Adapter is available any longer.

If your 5.25" slot is free then you could add the SCSI Card Reader from Mechware.

Another Option is to Move your SCSI HDD's into an external box so you have upgrade room.

I've still got the SCSI External Box I used for when I had an A1000 with Comspec SA1000 but it would be costly to ship due to weight.
