Do you know specifically what was wrong with the design?  I have a supra ex-
pansion and haven't seen these problems, but I would be interested in checking
out the board to see if it is the same type as yours.
My only complaint about my board is that it appears that Supra used slower ram 
than the normal Amiga expansion memory.  This is a subjective statement, I 
haven't run any benchmark tests or anything.
