If I remember correctly, the Fastlane WILL work with older SuperBusters, but
you must first change a jumper on the Fastlane (you can read all about it in
the manuals). When used in this mode, it is 100% compatable with the older
chip, but your 32-bit DMA will be turned off. In short, it will work, but
just a little slower.
