The A4092 is a modern re-implementation of Dave Haynie's classic A4091 Zorro III SCSI controller for the Commodore Amiga. It retains a lot of the proven architecture and the NCR/LSI 53C710 SCSI controller at its core, while replacing obsolete and unobtainable components with modern equivalents that are more readily available today.

And also as a real PCB (REV A):

The original A4091 used eight discrete GALs (ATF22V10 and similar) programmed with WinCUPL to implement all bus interface, AutoConfig, address decoding, arbitration, and SCSI control logic. The A4092 consolidates all of this into a single Xilinx XC95144XL CPLD. This brings several advantages:

• Field-updatable logic — no need to pull and reprogram individual GAL chips
• No soldering and no sockets required for upgrading the liogic.
• More logic resources and routing flexibility than the original GAL array
• Eliminates dependence on increasingly scarce GAL parts
• The original WinCUPL equations have been rewritten from scratch in Verilog for the CPLD

The parallel EPROM used for the A4091's boot ROM has been replaced with SPI Flash memory. Firmware updates no longer require a UV eraser and a dedicated EPROM programmer — the flash can be reprogrammed in-system.

Where the original A4091 used through-hole, PLCC and SOIC packages, the A4092 uses TSSOP and other modern surface-mount packages (such as 0603 passives). This reduces the board footprint, improves signal integrity and aligns with current PCB assembly capabilities.

The A4092 is designed to be manufactured with services like JLCPCB or PCBway, using (mostly) components that are in current production and readily sourced. No hunting for NOS parts or pulling chips from donor boards.

The AutoConfig logic — previously spread across multiple GALs — is now integrated into the CPLD alongside the rest of the glue logic, resulting in a cleaner and more maintainable design.

The A4092 is not a redesign — it is a re-implementation. The core architecture is unchanged:

• NCR/LSI 53C710 SCSI controller
• Zorro III bus interface with the same timing and protocol behavior
• Full compatibility with existing A4091 device drivers and ROM images
• Active SCSI termination
• Internal and external SCSI connectors

• Revision C - This is the revision you should build.
• Revision A - needs a number of reworks
