It works. I have one in my A1000. It is a little bit flakey it seems. (I get
more crashes there than on my A2000 with the same programs - but not a lot
more crashes.) It is not so bad that I have removed the board. That A1000
supply is currently supporting two SB2's (one with MFM and one withStarDrive)
and the Spirit Tech board. I have saved about a watt by switching to a CMOS
68000 chip in it. (THat chip also solves lots of PALish problems as well.)

I cannot recommend the Spirit Tech board. But neither can I recommend against
it. Your mileage may differ.
