because Super Buster is a downgrade for Zorro-II users.

Out of idle curiosity, how is it a downgrade?  Is it because of all the DMA issues in the various revisions of the chip?
Amiga 500: 2MB Chip|16MB Fast|30MHz 68030+68882|3.9|Indivision ECS|GVP A500HD+|Mechware card reader + 8GB CF|Cocolino|SCSI DVD-RAM
Amiga 2000: 2MB Chip|136MB Fast|50MHz 68060|3.9|Indivision ECS + GVP Spectrum|Mechware card reader + 8GB CF|AD516|X-Surf 100|RapidRoad|Cocolino|SCSI CD-RW

This is explained on the Amibay thread and also here:

Unfortunately, all the revisions and bug fixes were for Zorro III and Zorro II performance was never "Up To Par".

@SpeedGeek,

I'd love to see that Schematic on Amibay but it won't let me see it, even after registering.

I saw a video recently where Dave Haynie says that Zorro III was just him and it wasn't something that management were asking for, so there wasn't any resources allocated to it. You're lucky it even works a little bit.

It may take a few to days get full access to Amibay since new member registrations are approved by a staff member.

Yes, and he also said Zorro III wasn't finished for the A3000 release because "Getting Zorro II Up To Par Was Tricky". Maybe he did the best he could with the time and resources he had. You can blame Commodore management (again) if you like but that doesn't help Zorro II users at all.

Still no access. Dead end.
