Imtronics was a US based front for the real company in Germany.  I got the
name of this company (written down at home) from Ralph Babel. I called them
directly and spoke with their technical people. 

The are offering upgrades to their current line of products - especially
the Hurricane 68030 board for the A2000.  They promised to send me an
updated disk with thier utilities on it. Until I get this "test" mailing,
I won't trust sending my accelerator card to Germany!

I will look up the company name/address/phone number and post it this weekend.
