Tony, I have a GVP 3001 28 Mhz w/68882 and 4 meg of 32 bit ram expandable to 8 meg. Would like to get $750.00. It also has an IDE hard drive interface on it, BTW. AIBB benchmarks it at least 10% and in some tests as much as 50% faster than a 25 Mhz A3000. Leave me EMAIL if interested.

hmmm….kinda' rich for my blood…looking for a used one around the $300 range! Thanks, though! 'ppreciate the response! BTW, I'll keep the Quantum a while and see what happens…as i said before, most of my Q experience has been with their IDE's and PeeCee's Tony

Tony, I wish you luck finding a card for $300. Just the 4 meg of 32 bit ram costs nearly that much, let alone the accelerator and memory card together. If you're willing to settle for an old 68020 accelerator which runs at 14 Mhz with a 20 Mhz 68881 and 4 meg of memory I have an old Hurricane card which I would sell for $300. Yeh, stick with that Q for awhile. I have three of them currently and have owned and sold two others. I have been real pleased with their performance. Right now I have a 240 meg and 105 meg in the A2000 and an 85 meg in the A3000 along with a Maxtor 7120.

Tony, That's a real good price. Be sure it has 4 meg and not a 68EC030. Some of the G-Forces (the less expensive ones) only had 1 meg and used the less expensive EC chip which doesn't have an MMU and also exhibited some incompatibilities with AMax (and maybe some other hardware).
