  You can get a Toaster for your a3000 right now! Hell, the Toaster started
shipping the same month the a3000 did. Lots of people use the Toaster with
the a3000. 

  As for 2.0 roms, you really don't need them for any a3000. Why? every
a3000 comes with a hard drive. It takes 5 seconds to load the kickstart,
and you only have to do it once a day. There are very few people who will
get roms for their a3000 just to save five seconds a day.
