I love my A3010, glad your A3000 is showing life albeit briefly. I need to fix the mouse port on mine as its a bit flaky and the mouse itself has a broken pin for middle mouse clicks which is a pain. I have a Gotek in mine, but many of the disk images (not all) dont work for me. Another challenge for another day! Good luck with your A3000!
@@PixelRefresh I also love my A3010. It is going to get some love soon. The connection between the battery and clock chip seems to have died so it is quite forgetful. Beautiful machine! Because I haven’t used them in a while I forgot how to do stuff. Many games work for me, was pleased I got Dune 2 working on it. Wish it had enough expansion to add a network card as well as IDE. Have been trying again unsuccessfully to do serial comms. Second time I’ve attempted it and both times I get close using the same hardware as others. I suspect serial might have an issue on mine so another thing to look at.
I used to use A3000s a lot back in the early 1990s, pretty impressive machines. :)

I have an A5000 in my loft I purchased about 15 years ago when trying to get my hands on a 3020 - I must get it out and see if it still boots up
My A3000 just died! Back to the fault finding slog. Love and hate these machines.
