Update:  Finally, batch of SCSI chips received.  Tested & working.  Will begin shopping initial orders this week.  Those interested still, pls email for the pre-order price still.  Use these on Amiga 2091 controller or Amiga 3000.  Once another week passes, price goes up.

Definitely worth getting one of these - my A3000D had all sorts of CD-ROM issues with its original version and all started working properly once I'd done the upgrade. I got mine from Vesalia a couple of years ago.

@Ali.
Thanks for confirming the information.  We put one in into our amiga 3000 and no visible difference in terms of performance, but still worth it to avoid bugs, disk/bus problems etc.    Nice to have latest revision.

addendum:
This was received from one of our customers.  More chips can be ordered still if sufficient interest.  Many people blame A3000 for lockups but as found this is due to the old chip revision:
"Thank you very much for everything you did.  I received the package actually one day after your last (this) email, and only have recently upgraded the chip.  After a false start (not your chip -- another 'buggy' chip I purchased; different story) my system 'rocked' to life.  I immediately noticed as you mentioned increased reliability, and continuity (pgm/games didn't crash / end abruptly as in the past, didn't hang and went back to workbench.)
Thank you, and thank you again. "
