Just a note that I picked up a couple active SCSI Terminators from Mechy and sure enough, that cleared up my SCSI issue. So, I more or less have a working A3000! Yay! Thanks to Mechy and everyone for all the help.
Now, I have a whole new slew of issues I'll be dealing with trying to get some of these SCSI devices to work. I'll start a new thread. That's a threat.
Thanks again!
On the Front Leds: the little led pcb almost always develops cracked traces,its poorly made. check it for continuity,resolder etc. the other thing that causes them to crack is sliding the front cover on and not taking care to have the leds aligned with the respective holes. also, there should be a plastic insulating washer behind the led board,the screw goes through it.
Workbench 3.1 has scsi drivers for cdroms,but they are not active by default. Copy CD0 from storage:dosdrivers to Devs:dosdrivers.
you must then edit the file for the correct scsi device unit number for the cdrom drive.
reboot and it should work to read cd's.
