There was a 'special' A3000UX, but the only think different about it from a
regular A3000 was that it came with an ethernet card (A2065 I think was the
number) and a special framebuffer that wasn't fully supported by either AMIX
or ADOS. (and it isn't needed if you're not running X, and I would imagine
that there are more Xservers available today that would use the standard
display). Don't forget this machine was back when an AT&T license still cost
an arm & a leg, hence the extra $1k in cost of the UX version.
