We thought about getting such a board until some weeks ago when we were lended
a Phase 5 Cyberstorm MK II 060 accelerator with 72-pin sockets. Still, it's
quite apparent that this A3000 is kept together mostly by rust and hot glue.
On good days, it works from a cold boot, otherwise it requires a few resets
before everything's settled.

We thought about buying such a card, too, until we were lended a Picasso IV.
You can't go any farther on the Zorro bus (ATM).

God forbid! That could be a good reason to install P96/CGFX instead of EGS.
