e) Everything you could ever need to be fully compatible with the A3000 has
   been out to the developers for years.  There's a book called the "A500/
   A2000 Technical Reference Manual", which costs about $40, that has all
   the AUTOCONFIG specs, physcial connector specs for video and Zorro II, etc.
   Developers ignore these kinds of things (and some do) at their own peril,
   we never publish specs just to give 3rd party engineers something to read
   on the can, we publish them because we MEAN them.
