My AOX DoubleTime Accelerator also causes problems with the sound when it
runs in high-speed mode ... it's a 16mhz 68000 and what you get sounds like
static or distortion. No software was provided to correct this deficiency
which is a bummer :-( but I don't use sound programs that much, so I can
live with it.

Also no color quickdraw, ASC sound chip, '030 direct slot, or SWIM chip.
It's a tough call - the Gemini would definitely win in the speed category,
but the SE/30 is more compatible and it's the wave of the future... I am
stuck in the same upgrade dilemma. If Apple would release a 25mhz SE/30i
and corresponding upgrade board, my choice would be clear.
