I've got the Supra accelerator, and it works well if I don't activate the upper memory on my AdRam card, otherwise I have to disable the cache and it makes it faster, but not as much. They say it has something to do with needing 4megs of contiguous RAM for the caching to not crash the system, so I start it up in slow mode when I max out the memory. It works perfectly with the CD-ROM add-on to my 500, but I had to give away a Vortex AT-Once to a friend since neither item liked each other. When I get that last two megs for this card I'll find out if I can just keep the entire unit set for high-speed with caching, and put a message up here. Oh yeah, if I boot up the machine without activating the upper 2 megs on the AdRam card I can keep the cache active, and screens flash by faster than my 486-25 PC with Windows (although that's not really a fair comparison, the PC is running in 800x600x256 color mode).
