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. // daniel on autopilot in paradise \X/ with intel and motorola inside
