Apple will not say if System 7 VM will be supported by third party accelerators. I know this for a fact, because I asked them. 2. The Dove accelerator does not have a place for a math co-processor. But for the price of an accelerator and the SUM and SAM software, its not bad. I think TSI's Mercury 030 line a good deal. You get the 16 MHz 68030 accelerator and a math chip socket for $595. This board allows other add ons like a 32-bit Ram card, a High-Speed SCSI card, and a video card. Of course at that price you don't get the math chip, just the slot for it. Tim Oravec
