I have 2 questions on the Amiga 3000. The computer is a 16 MHz A3000.
Question 1:	I have seen all the discussions concerning disabling 
re-selection when using the A2091 on an A2000. Does this also apply to the
A3000 or has the software on the A3000 been fixed to solve this problem? I
will receive my A3000/16-50 in 2 days and I plan on installing a Conner 
200 meg drive and a Syquest drive on the computer (the Syquest will be 
external). Do I have do disable re-selection?
Question 2:	I know that the A3000 uses SCRAM for fast memory but can you 
also use normal page mode dram (ZIPs 256K X 4)? You see, I got 32 of these at 
a price that was unbeatable. Also, they are 100ns instead of the specified 80ns.
So, can I use 256K x 4 ZIP page mode DRAM (100ns) in an A3000/16 computer?

Thanks for any information.
