This, imho, is the best news to hit the Amiga Scene in a very long time.
The 3000D will be greatly served because:
1. CPU's that have died on the 3K MB can be used once again with this.
2. There is an extremely limited amount of ideal 3000 accelerators out there for the Desktop (Warp Engine 3040 and Cyberstorm MKIII).
3. The SATA controller will bring easy access to modern drives.
As an aside I would be just as happy to just have the 040 with the add ons. The PPC is nice but I currently don't use anything that would use it.
I will be buying one!
