bridgeboards do work in 3000's.  the trick is to disable data caching before
BindDrivers, or to run the "bridgeboard aware" version of enforcer before
BindDrivers.  both 2088 and 2286 bridgeboards work.

as to using a 3.5" drive, that shouldn't be a problem.  if the floppy cable
that came with your bridgeboard doesn't have the 3.5" style connector on it,
you can find a card edge to dual row header adapter at most places that sell
pc clones (usually this comes with a frame which mounts a 3.5" drive in a
5.25 bay).

if your bridgeboard doesn't work in your 3000, i'd bring the system to a
repair place or a dealer who'll let you try the board in other 3000's.
*some* early versions of the 3000's backplane card had noise trouble which
*could* interfere with proper operation of *some* bridgeboards.
