WOW. Sorry, I forget the company name. That sounds rather strange - a 50MHz 68030 card just doesn't add that much extra oomph to a 3000; I can't concieve of there being enough of a market for anyone to bother designing one. Unless maybe it was an 040 card with a fast 030 hacked into it somehow. Or lots of on-board static RAM, or something. One interesting thing, though, is that the names Commodore and Amiga aren't visible on the outside of the box. NewTek has been taking a "black video box" to Mac shows to demo their spiffy video hardware. It's an A2000 with the markings removed, and a toaster added.
