I sent an email to softhut asking some questions on this accelerator, and below are the answers. Has anyone bought this, seen it, tried it etc. and what are your thoughts on it. The price of the ram is pretty steep but i should be able to get a 64mb stick for about $20

If you mean memory it has 1

>- what is the max size SIMM that the slot(s) can accept,

I only have 32mb here but I heard it does work with some types of
64mb low profile modules

>- Do they need to be EDO
>- Would EDO make a difference

I believe it takes Fast Page Mode 72 pin not EDO, EDO may work but I
never tried it, it would not be faster if it did work

>- are the boards in stock

Yes

>- Do the boards need drivers to be recognised in Amiga OS

No - it has an install disk for the scsi only but even with that HD
toolbox works

>- Do you accept Paypal

Yes and right now if you order a model with 16mb ram we will give you
a free upgrade to 32mb of ram !
