If you're trying to upgrade from 68030 to 68040, then you may also want newer scsi chip.  You need it regardless.
i just offered it here, its expensive and little room for making $, hence i don't want to order too many.

To do 040, as almost all A3000 were delivered with the revision combination of DMAC-02 and RAMSEY-04. The problem with this combination is, the DMAC-02 does not like 68040 boards like the A3640 due to heat and timing problems.  Though, I have heard of DMAC-02 being ok with some 68040 boards.

Keep in mind even after you get newer  Ramsey 07, Super Buster  11, Super DMAC 04, WD-SCSI  08 , there's no guarantee your miggy will like 68040.  However, the SCSI 8 chip is a must fix for any amiga 3000 regardless of cpu.

If someone here has the chips, than I recommend you buy their Amiga 3000 motherboard also.

@kin-hell
trolling? how's what I stated nonsense? do you own an amiga 3000?
Not forcing anyone to upgrade, simply will order fewer chips if no or little interest is shown.  No problem.  I doubt you'll find this chip easily (need to upgrade my A3000 also).
Took me 3 hours to locate them.  :-D
