Just received my computer back from ICD with their accelerator board in it.
Works very nicely. It comes with software .PRG and .ACC that lets you
the CPU between 8 and 16 Mhz. 8 is only really needed for Spectrum pictures
in my experience so far. The improvement in speed of operations is quite
noticeable. Haven't run any benchmarks, I'm not into that kind of thing. 
What I am interested in is that it causes an obvious speed up of the
in modem programs, Calamus and EZDraw are enough faster so redraws no
longer drive me nuts. If it's as well designed as it looks and lasts as
as my ICD HD HA, I shall continue to be a happy computer. Take a look at
one if you are in the market for an ST accelerator. This one is really a
neat design, very small and it works transparently to the user.
