- The Buster-9 that came with many A4000s has a Zorro-III bug that could
- make using some boards impossible. For instance, the A4091 requires a
- Buster-11. This bug does not affect things that don't use the Zorro bus.

- : replace the 74FCT244 with a 74FCT240 (heard it but could some one
- : explain it?)
- : upgrading the A3640 from 3.0 -> 3.1 -> 3.2 (what is involved?)
- : Any others???
-
- These two are supposed to accomplish the same thing, although apparently
- some doubt exists. (My personal preference for upgrading the A3640 is to
- replace it with a different processor board--Warp/Cyberstorm--although I
- realize that isn't practical for many people.)
-
- Some of these things (and others) are in the A4000 Hardware Guide,
- particularly the Definitive Buster section by Dave Haynie.

- More information on this topic is found in the A4000 Hardware Guide,
- which is available from your favorite Aminet ftp site. The archive
- is in the hard/misc directory, and is called a4khard_v3.lha.
