Yep, in my A3000T. The FliFi part of the card (the bit that fits in the vide
slot) is actually designed to be broken off (for use in A2000's). It is a bit
worrying to do this, but it worked for me and should be safe to do....
You then use the supplied cables to connect the FliFi (in the video slot) to
the rest of the card (in any Zorro slot).
Breaking off the FliFi part is the only way to fit the card in any slot other
than the top one, unfortunately :-\
Cheers.
