- The A2090 is _VERY_ picky when it comes to correct Zorro-II timing
- (which is essentially plain 68000 timing). If the bus handling of
- your accelerator is not conforming exactly to specs, you will have
- a basically unsolvable problem.
-
- Easy solution: Shop around for a used A2091. The A2090 ain't that
- great or robust.
