Alan, if you purchase a 4091, not only does your Buster need to be the latest revision (-11), but your 68040 processor board MUST be a revision 3.1 or later. Not only that, but even if you get a 3.1 processor board, U209 must be a revision -2 PAL. Some of the 3.1 processor boards got out without the PAL revision, and so my 4091/4000 operation is still flaky. So you will need to make sure that the repair center checks which processor board you currently have, and if it needs the 3.1 version, make sure when he gets it that he checks for the proper PAL revision. So that's why I suggested going with the Fastlane instead, and put up with the cold boot problem. If you get a 4091, it might not be worth the heartache.
