I got a vector 68030/68881 and 16 megs of mem for a good price. When I run
sysinfo (from here) I get a speed of 0.97 of that of a 3000. While I have
a MMU, the vector will map kickstart into 32 bit without the MMU. When you
reboot, if you hold the right amiga key down, the vector gives you a menu,
where you can go to 68000 mode. The reason I got 16 megs was that even
though there are 8 SIMM slots, you have to exand using either 4 of 8 of
them. I need 8 megs (Toaster), but then I loose future expandability
(unless I replace the 1 meg SIMMS with 4 meg SIMMS). On the other hand,
the regular SIMMS are much cheaper than the GVP SIMMS. And you can add the
DKB memory board latter for a total of 144 megs (when memory is cheaper ).
