Has anyone out there purchased the AdSpeed accelerator?  It is a 
~ 14 MHz 68000 along with a 16K cache which is available via mailorder
for less then $250.  I have an A1000 and am interested in purchasing
this thing.

I realize this product will be nowhere near as good as an 020/030
accelerator with 32 bit RAM.  But the price is right, assuming the
speed-up is at all noticeable.

I'd be interested in objective/subjective opinions regarding ease of
installation (especially for A1000), speed-up attained, quality of
documentation, quality of support, product quality, etc...

The ads boast "solderless installation" -- it looks like you just pop out
the 68000, plug it into the little circuit board, and shove it into the
68000 socket.  Is this true?

Thanks!
