If you had a developer machine, make sure you updated your HDToolBox
when you upgraded your A3000. The old ones had defaults suited to the A2091,
more recent versions are correct for the A3000 (early developer A3000's may
have been set up with the old HDToolBox also). HDToolBox is on the A3000
install disk, I think.
Henrik is correct that the proper mask for the A3000 is 0xfffffffc,
which is what the release A3000 HDToolBox uses.
