    The difference between A and AU or Miata and Miata GL were two that I can
    think of,
    The GL remebers the state of the power switch after interruption and will
    power
    itself backup assuming AUTO_ACTION is set to restart and GL had onboard
    SCSI.

    BTW. I have previously posted the dip switch setting to run this at
    600MHz, which
    I have successfully done on both 500's and 433's. It will not cause any
    damage.
