I guess I'm settled on a 68030, 32 bit memory and a MMU. I'm glad I asked
about this as I was really in the dark with regard to the whole subject. I
have a year and a half of back issues of Compute and Amiga World but there
was only 1 accelerator review.
Incidentally, with regard to compatability, when producers state their
board has a fallback mode to the 68000 exactly what does this mean? Is it
actually the 68000 on the card as well, or the 68030 acting like a 68000?
If the latter, at the original speed or the accelerator speed? I would like
to have complete backward compatability with all the software I already
own.
Thanks for your reply, Lee
