  You say it might be the power supply which is causing your machine
to flake out when using the ADSpeed.  This could be.  I have know
many A500 problems (such as hard disks not booting) that were related
to the whimpy power supply.  Maybe the CPU-intensive Sculpt stuff
just pumps to much juice for the ol' 30-watt thing to handle!  Get
a Bigfoot ! :)  (What is that, 180 watts?---Plenty, in any case!)
I know someone who hooked up a gigantic IBM 200 watt supply, and
have never had any spin-up problems with his HD since!  Of course,
he knew something about electronics...
  I am really intrested in that AdSpeed, especially if it is
compatible with everything.  Can you easily shut it off to play
games that don't support faster processors?  Does Falcon's frame
rate speed up, or does it just play like it's on amphetimines? :)
