   I have had the Insider from Michigan Software for about 2 weeks.  It
took a week to arrive. It is a 1meg board with a smartwatch on it.  It
comes with 3 programs - clock read/set; memory test; RAM on/off.  
   Installation instructions are detailed and easy to follow with
drawings of all the connections. It is a pain to install because it is
a tight fit. I worked carefully and it took about 2 hours
including booting and testing before re-assembly. It came up and worked
first time.  It has worked with everything I have tried so far, but I
rarely use commercial software.
    It has a 4 position dip switch that allows it to be installed into
any of the 1 meg slots 2-9 or C. I installed it in the C slot and the
Amiga recognized it there. Addmem is needed if any other slot is used.
    I tried it with a friend's C LTD 1 meg board and it worked.
I have also carried my Amiga around in the trunk of my car and it has not
loosened. The clock runs a little slow, but its not as far off as TIC.
