The Dove 16MHz Marathon accelerator ($529 from MacWarehouse) looks
reasonably attractive to me, but doesn't appear to allow addition of a
floating point unit (FPU). The Total Systems Gemini _does_ appear to
include an FPU, and is even more attractively priced at $425 from
MacCenter (though it appears to use up the slot, unlike the Dove).

Has anyone had good/bad experiences of these?

Are there any other reasonably priced alternatives? The MacProducts USA
RailGun looks good in the ad, but they've had bad reviews on the net.

Cost is reasonably important, but I need an FPU.

Please post or e-mail (I'll summarize).
