   I called Gemini and was neither impressed or satisfied with their product
(on paper) or their sales or technical support phone service.
   I bought the railgun.  There was a 6 wk wait quoted, and the delivered to 
the day. That was supposed to be all caught up by mid-nov, for the plus, and
by years end for the se.  Don't know how they are actually doing....
   The directions seem clear, and board looks well built.  For the plus they
highly recommend using a fan.  They included a blerb that they have a unit
coming out for the older systems, 512E, 512, 128. They also have a optional
scsi port for the accelerator coming out.
