HI FOLKS,
	AS PC-DITTO II SEEMS DELAYED (CERTAINLY THIS SIDE OF THE POND IN
MAGGIES KINGDOM (MAY SHE REST IN PEACE (SOON!)) THE OPTIONS SEEM TO BE
SUPERCHARGER OR PC-SPEED. I WOULD GO FOR PC-SPEED EXCEPT THAT IT DOES
NOT SUPPORT MATHS C0-PRO (8087) THUS I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS FROM ANY USERS OF
THE ABOVE DEVICES TO A FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS.

1) IS IT POSSIBLE TO PUT AN 8087 ON TO PC-SPEED, IF SO HOW EASY IS IS, IF NOT
IS THERE A POSSIBLITY IN FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.

2)IS THE OLIVETTI SCREEN THAT PC-SPPED EMULATES THE SAME AS THE A.T.&T. 6300
SERIES GRAPHICS DISPLAYS.

3) DOES PC-SPEED WORK WITH HYPERCACHE, NOT WILL ONE BENEFIT THE OTHER BUT WILL
THEY SIMPLY RESIDE IN THE SAME MACHINE WITHOUT CRASHES (MEGA 2).

4) HOW CHEAP IS IT TO UPGRADE SUPERCHARGER TO 1 MEG.

5) DOES SUPERCHARGER WORK WITH ICD CONTROLLERS (ST-WORLD SAID IT DOESNT).

IF ANY EUROPEAN READERS (OR AMERICAN COME TO THINK OF IT) CAN ANSWER THESE
THEN PLEASE DO (ESPECIALLY HANS-JORG SACK IF HE READS THIS).
