I have a Commodore 020 board that I'm looking to sell for $400. The board has been upgraded to 4 meg of 32 bit RAM. I replaced it with a GVP 030 combo board. If you or anyone else is interested leave me E-mail. And a Happy New Year to you!

How much were you looking to get out of the board? What's the speed of the CPU and does it have a math co-processor or can one be added? Jeff Halapin 75265,232

Jeff, I also have a CBM 68020 accelerator board. It runs at 14MHz, has a 68881 math coprocessor clocked at 14MHz, and 2MB 32 bit RAM, It has been tested recently and works fine. I'll take $375 or best offer. Darin, SPC Superbase Technical Support

The board runs at 14mhz and comes with a 68881 math co-processor and a 68851 MMU. The MMU lets you use the program `setcpu' to map kickstart into fast 32bit memory where it will run at 14mhz. You can also use it to map some hard-drive ROM's into fast memory. A fall-back option will let you boot up in 68000 mode by holding down both mouse buttons at boot-up where a screen will let you select between the 68000 or 020. All in all it's a nice board.

If you'll take $350 for it, consider it sold. I've been looking for a way to get a little more speed. The new version of Pagestream takes forever to do a screen re-fresh. If it's not already sold, drop me a note and we'll work out the details.. Jeff Jeff Halapin 75265,232

If it comes up in the selection screen with BOTH mouse buttons down it has the old ROMs. If you want to run 2.0 on it you'll have to upgrade them (about $30). Peter

I AM interested. Do you also have any software, manuals, etc; that came with it? I will send you my mailing address via E-mail. – via Whap! (from Southern Illinois)
