Well Dan, off the top of my head...

We have two models, A3000UXB and A3000UXD.  They're the same except for
RAM and hard drive capacities.  Respectively, they have 5Mb RAM / 105Mb
HD and 9Mb RAM / 200Mb HD.

Both machines have:

	UNIX Sys. Vr4 (including Open Look)
	AmigaDOS partition
	Ethernet board (w/ NFS & TCP/IP under UNIX - works with
		AmigaDOS with optional AS225 software)
	All normal port flavors, including external SCSI which you'll
		probably use for our A3070 150Mb tape drive.
	What else do you need to know?

Answering your questions...

It is basically a normal A3000 with UNIX, yes.
It has an AmigaDOS partition and can boot into that.
Normal hardware compatibility applies, but special widgets may not be
accessible under UNIX, e.g., Bridgeboards, frame buffers, MIDI
interfaces, etc.

	Hope this helps.
	Paul.
