SCSI Controller chip, "Cutlass"
   I guess that the 52G9307 chip was first, some issues with it, it was then replaced by the [relatively rare?] 61G2444 chip. Production then stayed with the 82G2645 until end of production. Only one Differential Fast/Wide SCSI controller chip has been seen and that is the 52G9707.

P/N     SE/D  Remarks
52G9307 SE    Possible flaw? Not critical, affects certain scanners.
61G2444 SE    Assumed fully functional
82G2645 SE    Assumed fully functional
52G9707 Diff  Assumed fully functional

MCA Bus Controller chip, "Malibu"
All F/W variants use the Malibu 61G2323 MCA interface controller. Some datecode lots are suspect. See HERE
