where do you connect the ls 120 and doesn't it need somekind of special drivers ?

The Catweasel!!! It's a great card and I use it only for the LS-120!!!
If I remember well I tried the IDE controller of the X-Surf but I had bad results! It works (SLOWLY!!!!) with HD but not with LS-120... if somebody can use it I would appreciate to know how...
From the SW side I simply use IDEFix Express! :-) It works great... mmm... I never tried to boot from the LS-120... if I remember well my Catweasel version can boot... I will try as soon as I get back home...

 Very beautiful A3000 you have!

 For the two problems you have:

 1- Battery: now exists NiMH batteries with the same shape and capacity of those old NiCd ones, go buy one and problem solved;

 2- Toccata: Swap the electrolytic capacitors (SMD units) for new ones. Even regular-sized (105°C, preferably) will be OK.

I have understood almost nothing ;-) but it's great to read that I can try to solve the problem... I will call my "electronic friend" to do the job for me!!! Ua, Ua, Ua... ehm... sorry... ;-)
If I can do the job, I HAVE also to find a way to put somewhere some USB ports and the MP3@64! :-)
mmmm... I am crazy!!! But I think the A3000 is the better one (perhaps apart A3000T and A4000T!)... I do not care if it miss the AGA chipset! :-o

I came to that same conclusion a year or so ago.  I have fallen in love with the A3000's.  I used to think that you needed AGA to have a truly "Modern" Amiga but I was wrong.  All I miss is some games and a couple of paint programs.  There is nothing I miss from the A4000D and the only thing that would be nice to have from the A4000T is the 2 video slots.
