I should still have a GVP Series-II SCSI controller with 8M RAM (my first expansion card, perhaps I can still find the huge 100MB disk I bought with it). I do also have an A3000, but this machine has no expansion card, ie only the built 030 CPU, 1(?)MB RAM, no harddisk, no NIC, ... so no Z-II RAM? But if we would place this card in crest or kullervo, we'd have a suitable test machine? Christian
