He out there,
Does somebody heard about the SONNET 68040/50 Mhz board…????
Would like to here some advice, since I am planning to buy it.

Ferrin, .
the Sonnet is a 50MHz upgrade for the Commodore A3640 CPU board which simply
doubles the CPU's clock frequency. This is done by a minimum of electronic
hardware, especially selected CPUs (there are no true 50MHz 68040s) and a CPU
cooling ventilator. The product does exactly what can be expected of this type
of setup: it doubles the speed of a 25MHz 040 system (quadruples the speed of a
25MHz 030 system) except for memory access, as there's no on-board memory. The
hardware upgrade is completely transparent to the system and compatibility is
100% – if it runs on a 68040-25 it will run on the Sonnet, only twice as fast.
The price in Germany is DM999 (about US$700) without the A3640 board.
The distributor is:
OMEGA Datentechnik GmbH
