Hi-
 On Sunday January 21 2007, Andy Ball said to Neil Williams:

Soldered - surface mounted in fact, which is why it's basically impossible
to repair one if burned out.

 AB> Do A4000 accellerators come with their own ATA or SCSI interface? 

Pretty much every one has SCSI.

 AB> Alternatively, could one be added via a Zorro slot?

There are Zorro SCSI cards yes, IDE is possible too but all the
implementations I've seen have 3.5MB/s upper limit - so the much faster
SCSI (20-40MB/s) is worth the extra investment.
