I am looking to buy a SCSI II controller for the A4000. But don't know if 
I have the correct buster chip.
I contacted an Amiga dealer by me but they could me anything yet.  I was 
wondering if anyone could tell me how to tell which buster I have.  Do I 
need to check the actual numbers on the chip and how easy is it to 
upgrade and how much is it?

Also does anyone know whish revision I need to use the GVP 4008 SCSI board?

Thanks.

You need to check the number on the chip. It will end in -09 or -11

There are only problems with the -09 buster if you use Zorro3 cards. I use a
gvp HC8+ scsi -controller (with 4.13 rom) which is the same as the 4008
without problems. Even with a Zorro3-card next to it (CyberVision with slow
buster jumper set)
