As I understand it the A3000 expansion slot differs from that
on 400 series Archimedes in that 12V is not available on the port.

In fact I gather 12V is not present at ALL in an A3000, which is
why Ethernet is so difficult on an A3000.

You have to use external power supplies to supply the Ethernet
card with 12V.
