Actually, at least three different companies claim to have '040 cards
for the 3000 (which are easier than '0[234]0 cards for the 2000) ready
to ship as soon as they can get '040s. Some have been demo'd at
various trade shows.

Also, the early '040 specs were available while the 3000 was being
designed. One of the designers claims that the only difference between
the 3000 and an Amiga desiged to use an '040 is the missing '040; the
3000 hardware is set up to take advantage of the differences between
the two chips.
