Watch out with the Cyberstorm -- if you have a Rev D A4000 motherboard (the 
last ever made) they remove a crystal that the Cyberstorm needs to operate. 
Slightly more details in this older usenet posting:

"My MkII was 040/40, and required "internal clocking". The internal clock 
signal is taken from U104 (50 MHz crystal). It was not installed in my A4000cr 
revD (it used the "external clock" on the A3640), so when I replaced the A3640 
with the CS MkII, the computer refused to work. I just got a blank grey screen."

I asked this person if he ever found out how to fix it. His reply:

"Soldering the crystal into U104 solved the problem."

I wasn't willing to do that so for my own purposes I procured a rev B. A4000 
mobo.  So now I have two :-)
