I believe the ad mentioned is in the May 1991 issue of AMIGA WORLD 
on page 2.  The ad looks something like this:

The Ultimate All-in-One Amiga 2000 Add-on
6830 POWER+16MB RAM+SCSI CONTROLLER
  Replaces up to FOUR "normal" expansion boards!

Now, a 22 or 33 Mhz 68030 accelerator board, up to 
16MB of 32-bit wide RAM and a high-performance SCSI
hard disk controller in a single A2000 "CPU slot"
expansion board!

Check out these features:
*  The perfect companion for NewTek's Video Toaster.

*  Up to 16MB of 32-bit wide memory expansion.  4MB
   minimum factory installed memory on 33Mhz version,
   1MB minimum for 22Mhz.

*  GVP's new custom 32-bit wide, 1MB or 4MB, SIMM32
   memory modules offer flexible, easy-to-install
   memory expansion.  22Mhz model has 1MB facotry installed
   memory expandable to 13MB.  33Mhz model has 4MB factory 
   installed memory, expandable to 16MB.

*  On-board high-performance "Series II" auto-booting SCSI
   controller with factory installed FAAASTROM SCSI driver
   and SCSI connectors for attaching both external and 
   internal SCSI peripherals.

*  Direct DMA access to the full 16MB range of 32-bit wide
   memory expansion by the on-board SCSI controller.  Due to
   the A2000 bus architecture, this is ONLY possible when
   SCSI control is placed directly on the 68030 CPU bus (as
   is the case with the A3000!).  Provides ultimate SCSI
   harddisk performance!

*  GVP's legendary FAAASTROM SCSI driver supports virtually
   all SCSI devices currently on the market, including hard
   drives, Magneto-Optical drives, removable media drives and
   tape drives.

*  Switch to 68000 mode by simply clicking on our new "68000
   Mode" Icon, or include our special "mode switching" utility
   in your startup-sequence and select required mode each time
   system is rebooted, by holding down mouse button.

*  Provides the ultimate expandability of your A2000 system.
   Plugs into the "CPU accelerator" slot, thereby leaving ALL
   FIVE A2000 expansion slots free for future expansion.
