Yup, yup. As I mentioned, we at GVP are fairly familiar with these issues <g>.
People have asked us a lot why we haven't come out with a SCSI-II Zorro III
controller for the A4000. Well besides the typical performance issues being
discussed here, one only has to look at the "Pandora's Box" of issues
surrounding the installation of an A4091 to see why we've been taking our time.
Because Commodore didn't build the A4091 when the A4000 was being developed
they didn't find out that the Buster was buggy (i.e., DMA on Zorro III doesn't
work). That's a pretty bad planning / testing situation I'd say.
