Indeed they have!  In fact, not only did they anti-recommend, they flatly
refused!  In July I tried to order a 3000+Bridgeboard as an Educational
Package, and Commodore cancelled the order, over my loud but futile protests,
on the grounds that the two did not function together correctly.

Two months later, after numerous phone calls, I finally got my money back.

So the official word (right or wrong) is: 


         the Bridgeboard does NOT work in the 3000.


If yours is working, you must be mistaken. :-)
