I recently picked up a deneb for my A3000.  Everything is installed and running in Z2 mode (freezes in Z3 mode, but I think I know the fix for it).

Did you get yours to run in Z3 mode yet? Like yours, mine too freezes when in Z3. Someone a while back suggested re-seating the zip RAM, but I have yet to try that. Wondering what you thought the fix was...

Oh shoot, for clarity... got Z3, DMA and PIO mode goofed up again. PIO *is* Z3, which my system runs just fine. What I can't get to work is DMA mode. That's when my system freezes. Buster 11 and no other DMA Z3 cards installed.

Looks like the V11 firmware may fix that and your issue Darrin  :)

I had to add NOCACHE on the setpatch statement in Startup-Sequence
I just got through updating the flashrom to v11 and it now runs in DMA mode nice and stable, without crashing! Didn't have to modify my setpatch or monkey with reseating the Zip RAM either.

Thanks to the Deneb team for the continued support.  :)
