Jim, I purchased a Vector at the WOC in New York earlier this year. I think it's great. I had some problems with it and sent it back to IVS to check out. They tested it and found that the problem was with a Simm. They told me this and when I explained I needed the board for my thesis they called the dealer I got my memory from and made arrangements for a replacement simm! They sent the board back ( minus the Simm which they sent to the dealer) using the same shipping method I used (2nd day air). I have never had a problem talking to a technical support person. I'll be upgrading to the 40 MHz when its available (you will have to send them the board it needs a new Pal, they will clean and check your board also). You can get a EC or regular 68030. Don't know about A-Max. You can't mix Simms so you need 4,8,16,or 32 meg config. the 8 and 32 meg. config. give you a FAST 5:1:1:1 burst. You can also expand your system to 144 meg with DKB's 2632 board. The 68000 mode gives you up to 8 meg from the board so you don't need a second 16 bit memory board and you still have access to the hard drive on the card. I guess you can see I think this is a great board but I'm biased as a satisfied owner. Tom
