I tried this too, and I got some 70%. I'm using a A3000/25. However, I also
tried 'si', and this gave 1.2, so what about a third speedometer;-)

Yep, this happened to me too, I was using PCTools4.2 if that matters (I'm using
quite an old MSDOS boot disk I once organized to test transformer;-))

What I really liked in this version is that the flickering scrolling of the
former release is fixed, I'd say scrolling speed is now comparable to the
2088 bridgeboard (in a 4plane display, unfortunately hardly anyone uses 4,
2 are usually enough, and with 3 planes you can run 95% of all programs, at
quite a noticeable speed increase).
