I don't know if it supports the Amiga 3000 (as it is as new as the 3000, I
should think it would), but it certainly does not (by default) support
anything else on graphic modes than the A2088. (ie. MDA and CGA :-().
This means you would still require the extra slot for the VGA board,
but the positive thing is you don't need the extra slot for a 128K RAM
expansion anymore.
