Make sure you have some real FAST RAM to get speed benefit. Some SCSI controllers exhibit DMA problems with the Supra Turbo.

I won an auction and it came with an a590 50mb harddrive with 4mbram.
But im gonna use it with my "Rochard 500" harddrive with 8mb ram.

I hope this will work!!

How i software combability with older software?

This info i got about the cpu:
68HC000@28Mhz (with SRAM Cache) uses only 0.13watt

The standard Amiga M68000 uses 1.13watt.

Is there a change it could be clocked even more?

I use it with 2mb external fastram + 512K trapdoor + AR3.

I haven't found any major compatibility problems apart from badly coded trackloaders with CPU-loops don't work any more. It's also hung up my AR3 cart a couple of times.

It give a nice speedboost to WB1.3, but of course nothing like my A530

If you wanted to clock it faster I think you'd be best of looking for an 020/030/040 card instead. I've never seen a plain 68K run faster than 28Mhz - but saying that maybe it's possible.

@Zetr0
Not sure about A600. I'm sure you'd know more about the signals at the A500 side expansion than me
