Any compatibility_ _problems (above an beyond another 68020)? Is there support_ _for 68881, and/or a MMU? What is the total cost of the kit and_ _what does and DOESN'T it include. Plus, if there is anyone out there_ _who has constructed/used this board any comments on difficulty in_ _construction and reliability? I want to get an accelerator for my Amiga_ _(I wnat MORE SPEED!!!!), but I can't really afford $600, I'de like to go_ _with a '20, (the other option is CMI's PA) if I could get the board at a_ _reasonable cost (I already have a 68881 {stuck in starboard MFM}, so_ _if I could get the board built for $300, I could spare another $200 for a_ _16Mhz 68020....). And finally How do you get one of these kits?_ _+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+_ _| Disclaimer: Me?
