You must be kidding?
WHAT LIMIT on RAM???? you call 18 megs on the motherboard and the ability
to have 2 gigs via a Zerro III card a limit?? Sheesh!
Hardware glitches?? Huh? I have none. I use the A2286 BB with a VGA
card, A-Max II a lazer printer (HPIII) and connected with the 1950 and
another external 3 1/2 amiga floppie. 9600 baud supramodem etc. etc. Power
supply problem, Mine has no problems running all of the above all at the
same time. Hell I even have it send output to a 25 in. color T.V. that
happens to be next to it in my basement.
Don't forget, the A3000 is still breaking in as far as hardware products
for it go. Most people are waiting on 2.0 in Rom etc. Also, there are the
Zerro III slots, the A2500 030 does NOT and never will have them and they
are SEVERAL times faster then the Zerro II's.
As for software I run tons of games, and while I do have to switch to 1.3
(Horrid) to get some of them to run. I get at least a 90% software
compatablity rating on my A3000 25/50 Wait for the Rom version, it will
get even better!
All in all, slow down and give the machine a chance! If you are a power
monger (no pun intended) then trad-up to the A3000T and toss in Unix
That baby makes a 2500 look like a tinker toy!
