I'd recently looked at a picture of a GVP G-Force 040 board, and I think it
would fit in a desktop 3000, as long as you didn't have an Ami-Fast board
sitting over the ZIP sockets (which I do). It looks like the Mercury 040
board has the same physical problem, BUT while the GVP board will only take
8MB of GVP RAM the Mercury looks to take up to 32MB of 30-pin SIMMS. Of
course the ideal solution would be a CyberStorm board, but...

BTW, the following is a more or less complete list of the accelerators that
have been made for the 3000.
