    I have a question concerning the GVP 3001 accelerator board.  I just 
purchased one through mail order (which hasn't arrived yet), but the only 
one I could afford was the stripped down 68030 with no FPU or 32-bit 
memory ($649 total).  Now, I know that the board is almost useless 
without the memory, so I want to upgrade it as soon as possible.  First 
question, is the memory contained on another 'piggyback'' type board?  If 
so, where is the best place to buy one (with 4megs on-board or preferably 
the new 2meg version) and about how much would the board and memory cost? 
The guy I bought it from (Go Amigo) said I was stuck with the bare board 
unless I bought the whole accelerator 'KIT' that runs about $1400, but I 
think (hope!) he is wrong.  Thanks.
