Luke,
The CPU lines are correct. Some A2000 motherboard will experience
timing problems when remapping the Kickstart ROM with the caches on.
I'm not sure what the ARP040FIX line is all about. As for being
FULLY POPULATED, the BOARD will only support BURST mode when fully
populated. Your caches will always work and turning on burst in
SOFTWARE without the board being fully populated will make no
difference. Hope this clears things up.
