The A3640's 'design flaw' is that it's completely missing local RAM. It was designed as the "cheapest '040 board known to man", the only way to get it past C= management (otherwise the A4000 would've got an '030). As you can see from the names on the board, Dave Haynie wasn't one of the developers.

His name is all over the source code to the A3640 PAL (programmable logic chips). I just think he wasn't involved in the PCB design.

That's true. But I do remember him ranting about the A3640, something in the line of 'a poor man's '040'. Probably he got involved when it came to integrating all the 4000's components.
