I have a SupraTurbo 28 in my A2000. They are also made for the A500.
It runs at 28Mhz (twice as fast as AdSpeed). It uses a 16K onboard cache,
which is probably at least as important as the clock speed in 'speeding
up' the system. It is switchable between stock 7.14Mhz and 28Mhz by use
of a toggle hardware switch which is accessible from the outside of the
computer and by use of software.
I paid $142.55 plus shipping for mine. I definitely think it's a
better deal than the AdSpeed now.
Oh yeah, almost forgot…it definitely makes the workbench snappier and
provides a noticeable speedup of all the software I use (word processors,
telecommunications programs, graphics and games) although it is not a
68030/40 with >= 4M of 32 bit RAM.
