A little update here on this resurrection as Kawazu's thread reminds me that my 3000T needs still a lot of work.
What I did recently :
- Replace de A3640 by an Apollo 4060@66Mhz
- Replace the Picasso II by a Picasso IV
- Replace the PSU's noisy fan by a silent one
- Put the Toccata back
- Put the VLAB motion back (I did not set up it as I do not know anything about video stuff on Amiga)
- Changed the Floppy drive by an A2k NOS one (putting back the original A3000 eject button)
- Setting up a nice 3.9 system
The system is really stable and powerfull, I love this computer.
To do :
- a good paint job on the case (I will propably remove the paint next week and paint it beginning of next year).
- Waiting for fastata MKVI back in stock at Amigakit (they told me that they will receive few at the end of the month hopefully)
- find an USB solution (Deneb would be great !!)
- Find a car paint guy who is able to paint the front plate and reproduce the exact A3000T's logo on it (will not be easy).

Nice update, very fast & powerful Amiga system indeed and all pure Zorro
I look forward to seeing the final results, I had an A4000T painted and it came out really nice. Only the metals though I didn't need to paint the plastic. It was done by a Car painter and really well too.
Good luck.
