No truth at all.

-Also any news on the A3000T's price yet

Nothing more than the German guesstimate which I don't remember exactly, but
was perhaps about 600 DM.

-and can current A3000 owners upgrade to the larger case? 

The motherboard is different, with the slots on it. It would be
possible to put the normal motherboard in another tower case (many are
available), but you wouldn't get the slots.

You will be able to upgrade to the new diskette drive.

-PS Dave Haynie are you out there? Can you answer the upgrade
-question? Does the A3000T have a new motherboard or just a 
-larger back plane? If I could later upgrade to a T I'd buy
-an A3000 using the power up discount
