Looks like a 28MHz overclocked 040/25MHz) model .  I still have my 35MHz Mercury.  Ran like a top for many years 24/7 running my BBS.  Not sure about the SCSI problems.  Once I switched to 3.0/3.1 it was more stable using the "do not use" jumper.  (Might have just been a placebo, but someone on usenet tipped me off to it...)

Edit: I guess the seller does say the speed.  Getting it faster only requires an oscillator, faster RAM, and maybe a faster 040.  Mine was bought without CPU and I have a 040/40MHz in there underclocked.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

That is true, since it won't fit in the A4000(T).
