This image shows the underside of 25-AKB01-1014949 . Note, the
pocket where the mouse cable connects and compare it to the image below
ie an earlier machine.

This machine, 01-AKB01-1087508 has a smaller pocket, but what is
interesting is the CMOS battery compartement covered by the little plate.
The mainboard actually has a battery soldered directly to it, I cannot
say if A3000's actually went into production using this 2-cell design.

Another question that I would like answered, with the closeup shown
here, there is a little angled air vent. Now to me this hints at a possible
BBC-B type power outlet being a possible option during the design phase.
As cases were probably being mass produced before production I would assume
that the current PSU's and Battery configurations were the only ones to
go public.
Anyone with any involvement in the design of these machines reading
this, please contact me.

An internal view of the PSU and vent where I think a possible power-out socket "could" have been fitted.

A Simtec 1-3Mb expansion card. ie 1Mb in the machine and 2Mb on the card = 3Mb total.

A Simtec 1-4Mb expansion card. ie 1Mb in the machine and 3Mb on the card = 4Mb total.
