About a year ago I came back to my A3k after
leaving it set for about 4 years.
I did some upgrading ..  my machine was an
030-25 which it sounds like you have the same.
I added a WarpEngine 040- 40mhz with onboard
ram 64 megs.( much cheaper than zips)
3.1 Rom chips as they said are a must.
I added a CyberVision64 gfx accellerator.
I also have an external 2 drive scsi box with
CD Rom and 2nd hard drive.
The other things mentioned by the other people
are good if you have the money but I found the
Mediator card expencive so I chose to go the
way I did and I'm very happy with my A3k.

I guess if money is tight ...
Them the one best upgrade (imho) would
be a GFX card. But if you go that route make
sure you get a Zorro III card, not a Z2 card.
You can pick up a good card on EBay for usually
around $150.00 or less. IMHO that would be the
best single upgrade you can make.
If you want to install an accelerator then the
3.1 Roms are a must since all the good one
(I think) require 3.1 Roms.
