Could be something to do with the multiple-DMA-devices bug discovered in Buster 11. (Were you aware of this?) I think A3000 SCSI counts as a conflicting device.
Nope. A3000 SCSI is not a Zorro III DMA master. After all the A3000 launched with Buster 7 which was not DMA capable.
A4000T SCSI is a Zorro III DMA master.
