it is possible that the connection for the ide disc gets bad over a
period of time (oxigizes? (sorry don't know how to spell it:-) that
has happened with a lot of a3000's memory upgrade connection. So at
regular intervals I've had to remove the memory upgrade and spray
it with a contact cleaner and plug it in again. The only other cure
I can think of is to solder the memory upgrade into the a3000. If
someone has a permanent cure for this problem please let me know,
