  I thought they SHOULD have put a 68000 in the 3000, but oh well...  I hear
that some games don't work, but I don't know.  Ones that do vector graphics,
like F18, Harddrivin', and Stunt Car Racer should work PERFECTLY...  But some
weird ones might not.  I heard that it was 90% compatible and THAT'S not even
including games...  <-  Quote from AmigaWorld...
