I don't know what the facts are, only my observations.

In my Buster9 A4000, zorram did not work.
In my Buster9 A3000 it worked fine...

So it's not strictly an incompatability with Buster9.

It wasn't the Deneb that caused me issues.
The Deneb worked fine on both machines, but I don't remember trying it with the zorram.

I don't know. Deneb wasn't the focus for me.

A4k, buster9, zorram, no other cards present = Red Early Startup, board failed.
A3k, buster9, zorram, no other cards present = works

Over the weekend I was able to get the Zorram and Deneb both working in my buster9 A4k.

Regardless of the zorro slots used, if the deneb and zorram were in two adjacent slots, it would not work.

With the two separated by my GVP Spectrum card, they work great.

@CSixx, that's curious. Is there any difference to the slots really? One more important than the other? Or is it just the way DMA looked at the cards?
.


I'm assuming it's an autoconfig issue because when the two cards are next to eachother, I get a red early startup screen complaining that the zorram is defective.

I don't know much about how all these things work, but I'm happy to have both working nicely now :)
