The slots are NOT on the motherboard in the 3000, but on an expansion backplane. The 3500 motherboard will certainly be different, anyway. You'll get 4 PC-AT slots and five Zorro ]I[ slots. >> 2) The A3500 will be sized to fit a Toaster. > > Can the A3000 fit a toaster? If it can so can the A3500. The current model of the toaster, due to the "clever" way all that stuff got jammed on the card, doesn't fit in the 3000, but only (in a very special way) in the 2000 series. If NewTek isn't working on a version for the 3000, they're very stupid, and I really don't think those folks are stupid.
