I have been thinking of sending in my upgrade card but have been hesitant
since I haven't heard of anyone verifying its existance. But......of even
greater interest I just came across another hardware mod for the ST called
PC Speed and it is being sold by Michtron. It is REAL and I have seen it
for sale here in good old New Jersey. It is said to have a Norton SI rating
of over 4.0. A friend has one installed and has found anything yet that does
not run. He is using it with TOS 1.4 and says it is fa----st. 

Installation is fairly simple, but does require soldering one socket on top
of the 68000. The hardware board plugs into this socket. The real nice
thing about it is that it is real and available. Its list price is about
$100.00 above the list price of PC-Ditto II. That is $399.00. It appears
to be being made in Germany, but I am not sure of its popularity there.
Has anyone else heard of it?
