Christopher, I also have a MMR 030/33 mhz (waiting for the memory board though 🙂 ). It works great even without the memory although not as fast as I'd expected. I realized after a while that in order to read 32 bits intructions from 16 bit memory, the computer has to first slow down to 7 mhz *and* read twice to get 32 bits intructions. Well, at least I'll get the memory by next week. I'd like to warn some owners of A590 though. This is what I have and even though the MMR works fine in 030 mode, it just won't work in 68000 mode when the harddisk is set to boot!!!! (funny, I'd expect the 030 not to work but it's the contrary). If I set the autoboot to off, it works just fine. This leads me and CSA (and Creative Computer) to believe that the ROMs installed in my A590 my contains bugs (as it's been known to have). I'll order the new revisions and let you guys know if it fixed the problem. – Rej –
