The only 32 bit Zorro III device you're likely to see for a *long* time
is a memory card.  As the only profitable Zorro cards are memory and
hard disk controllers, and as hard disks aren't as fast as Zorro II yet,
not to mention the A3000's built-in super-fast SCSI controller, and
considering the relative numbers of A2x00s vs A3x00s, there's no
measurable probability that any Zorro III cards besides memory cards
will be built by anyone.  Sorry.
