Suprising that a soo much engineered computer uses that much PIO. And having a card with CPU+RAM+SCSI etc.. is essentially a computer on a card to circumvent the problem..

Zorro3 implementations just weren't quick enough, the A4000 should have been designed to drive it much faster.
 
Everything after the A3000 wasn't well engineered at all. The A4000 & A1200 embrased PIO IDE for instance.
