Ted, I have a VXL-30 in use. I don't have any 32 bit memory though (the board is new and I haven't been able to budget one yet.) When I got my board, it didn't work. I kept sending it back to Microbotics, and it kept coming back not working. Then, just before they released the RAM-32 board, they did some modifications and the board came back working. It does give a noticable speed increase over the 68000, and I'd guess 32 bit memory would give a major increase over what I already see. I haven't benchmarked it against anything though. One thing I don't like about it is the round pins it uses to fit into the 68000 slot. It takes a little wiggling to make contact with all the contacts in the socket, and doesn't seem all that stable. Once it is in, it doesn't seem to pop out unexpectedly, but it looks mechanically unstable. I'm not sure what questions you had on the VXL (I must have skipped over the original message), but hope this helps some. Bill, K3OZM On AutoPilot
