No it did not come with a hi-density floppy.
If any A3000Ts were sold with 1.76meg floppys, that would have been a dealer-installed item. HD floppies did not become commonly available until the A4000/A1200 era.
There were two floppy drives for the A3000 and A3000Ts. The A3010(880K DD) A3015HD(1.76MB HD)
I don't know for sure, but I was always under the impression that "most" A3000s and A3000Ts came with hi-density floppies since 1990.
At any rate HD floppies were around as long before the A4000/1200 era, and I don't think they were common then either as Commodore made, what I think was "just another bad decision" back then, releasin brand new AGA machines (A4000 and A1200) one with HD floppy and one with DD. To me this made no sense. I mean if they had just put an HD flopppy standard in the A1200, then AGA only software could have been on HD disks. An AGA demo could have been on a 1.76mb disk and you would know it would work on all AGA machine. No need to worry about OCS with DD as it's an "AGA" demo. But no, we still got AGA only software on DD disks, because only half of the machines had HD. Dumb. So the HD in your A4000 was relegate to transfering files from your PC. Fun....
But a A3000T with an HD floppy I highly doubt would have been a dealer-installed item (unless you got a second drive installed or something) it probably was just a standard A3015.
