What is clear is that Buster6/7 don't have DMA support and are slower.


Zorro III DMA.  And that only stops you from using a Fastlane or an A4091.  Which have issues in a buster rev9 A4000 also.

For the record, my A4000 had a rev9 buster, but was upgraded to a rev11 (re-soldered, as it wasn't socketed).  My A3000 has a rev11, but I've never needed to upgrade the ramsey and DMAC chips.  It's worked well with the old PP&S Mercury and now CSMK2 as well as the A4091.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

I think AGA is pretty useless as most of the good games run on RTG anyway.


Funniest thing I've read in a long time. :lol:  (Or, maybe sad  if you're serious...)

Yeah I realize that but AFAIK the A3000 did not come standard with a 1.76MB Floppy drive.


Mine did.  Bought it that way brand new from Creative Computers here in Redondo Beach.  Standard 030/25MHz, 2MB RAM, 50MB Quantum, etc.
