Hi Mark,

Should be on the card's ROMs. Which brings up one point, what revision are
the A2091's ROMs? I say this because rev. 6.6 and older conflict with AmigaOS
release 2.0 and later, where as release 7.0 A2091 ROMs don't. I dunno what
name it is, but I get a2091scsi.device, or it may even be scsi.device which
would conflict with 3.x's scsi.device (ide)? I'm not sure since my unused
A2500 (with A2091 and A2620) has the old cranky 1.3 release (still, it's better
than my 1.2 A500 :) and therefore won't conflict with anything like that. But
since I never really use the thing; I cannot recall what such a device is called....
hmmmm

Which is a fast slot card and not a Zorro card, so that *shouldn't matter* or
conflict.

Bingo! You have a CV64 and a Hypercom Z3i, I believe these two are Zorro III
only cards - thus meaning your Buster rev. 9 throws a wobbler! Only 1 ZIII
card can work reliably in a rev. 9 buster. Revision 11 buster will solve this
- just hope and pray that A4K has a socketed Buster!! :))
>Other details are that I only have 3.0 roms.
Well 3.0 ROMs are known to be quite flaky with RTG schemes, Picasso 96 or CGfx.
3.1 will resolve many problems....

See above, yes. :)

I'm not sure, but I believe like all phase5 cards EDO works, and that the extra
stuff is just ignored. I'm not sure about memory pairing - I know the CSPPC
needs it but why not try? :)

NP mate, after all this is what the list is for. This should help you out....
All the best,
