I have had my new A3000/16-50 (which I instantly converted to an A3000/16-200) 
for a few days now and had some time to play with it. I now have a few 
questions and comments (NOT flames). Most are just nit-picking, and in no 
particular order. So, here goes:
1.	Why is it that the Hardframe controller on my A2000 automatically 
recognizes a diskchange on my Syquest drive but the A3000 does not?
2.	Why couldn't one of the bits in the battery backed-up RAM be used 
as a "drive-click" bit? If the bit is set, your drive is capable of not-
clicking; if it is cleared, your drive is not capable of not-clicking.
3.	Why doesn't the "list" command have a sort option (like the "dir"
command)?
4.	I installed a second floppy drive in the A3000 (an A2000 floppy drive),
and of course the eject button is not the same. Where can I get a new A3000 
eject button?
5.	The NoClick program that I run on my A2000 to stop drive clicking 
does not work on the A3000 with 1.3.2 OS. Where can I get a new NoClick 
program to use on the A3000 with OS 1.3.2?
6.	What is a SetRamsey, and where can I get one?
7.	Why does my 486 AT compatible machine at work still run MSDOS 3.3 
(which can directly address a full 640K bytes of memory)? 
OOPS!!! Wrong newsgroup. I am getting carried away here.
8.	This one is addressed to Commodore. Please, give us a way to still boot 
Kickstart 1.3 after 2.0 goes goes into ROM. I said PLEASE.
9.	Why doesn't the schematics in the A3000 Introduction manual have 
songs associated with the Chips?
10.	Whatever happened to SetClock?

PS.	Did I mention that I think the A3000 is a great machine? Well done guys.
