Was happly playing around with my A3000, compiling a new Linux kernel for the 
beast! (It's towerd) After
getting a brand new X-Surf network card a few weeks ago... Leave her alone, 
and turned off for a few days.

Come back to the system, and she's dead jim! (Star Trek pun intended).

Strip the hole system down to just the motherboard and riser card (So out 
comes the X-Surf, Cybervision 64, A2091 [Has my cdrom on it], Cyberstorm MK1 
68060, 128mb ram).. Run some test's, get the nice kickstart boot screen with 
insert floppy.. Coool, things might workout to just be a dead Accelerator 
card..

Couple of days latter (when I had the time to spare), run more test's.. Boot 
up with just a workbench disk, and nothing else hooked to the beast... A few 
minutes latter and the &^%^%$& thing has locked up frozen (cant do squat).

Wish there was someone closer with another A3000 or A4000 to test things in 
(the closest I know of is MAUG [Melbourne Amiga Users Group] 120K's away.


So I might get a working system one day... Have been sending email's back and 
forward to Jean in france... So half my gear is going to have to take a world 
trip just to get board level work done on it...
Then if i'm lucky it's fixable...
