I recently acquired a 3000HL from a Tandy Computer Center for a great
price. What I want to do now is add a 16 bit hard disk controller and
(probably) a VGA card.

My question is this: Are there any known problems with using third party
cards in the 3000HL? This is the original 3000HL. How AT-compatible is
the bus? 

The VGA cards I've seriously considered are the Paradise VGA and VGA + 16,
the FastWrite VGA, and a 16 bit card from ATI. Will these work OK? And the
16 bit hard disk controller I've looked at is an OMTI model that also 
handles 2 floppies (high and low density). Also, I would want to eventually
add an EMS 4.0 board with a meg or two or RAM. Will the big name EMS boards
work in this machine? Also, will the 3000HL work with the 1.44 Meg drive?
