I'll ftp it as "14mhz.lzh" to abcfd20...the contents being "accel.doc",
"accel.pic", and "readme.txt" (I won't include "more", "show", etc...these
should already be a part of one's library of utilities).

It looks like a "good" way...'cause it's cheap, compatible (still using the
68000), and several solutions are available to fix the [unwanted] floppy speed
up.  Of course, the 68010 is socket compatible...and save for minor
compatibility problems (which can be rectified easily), it could be an
alternate solution/combination.

The author's benchmarks suggest a 70% speed up...anyone have more "realistic"
results to report?
