I called the company two weeks ago and they were waiting for some literature to come back from the printers then they were going to send me a copy. The accelerator in question is not a farce, but a 16Mhz 68000 not an '30 :-(, but there should be a future upgrade to a '030. The company that produces it I think is called Mac Doctor Electronics, and a friend of mine stumbled upon it when he was in the Silicon Valley. He went and talked to the engineers who had designed several of their other products and he came to the conclusion that they were really a good company. The MDE also sells other macintosh spare parts, I think they even carry flyback transformers for mac plus monitors. So hold on for a while and see what they end up producing, i think that it will be worth the wait. I have no ties of any form to this company, so don't think that this is an advertisement. I will forward anything more that I find out to this board. John
