From article <5894@medusa.cs.purdue.edu:, by wolff@cs.purdue.EDU (Robert M. Wolff):

: Speaking of 68020 boards...There is one out from CMI that sticks into
: the 68000 socket and has a socket for an 881. It retails for $199.
: And I was wondering if anyone had heard what kind of performance it
: was getting?? I need SOME speed up, but would I be better off building
: the lucas board??

	Remember that our board is *not* a 68020 board. It's a 68000 based
accelerator. That's why the price is so low. You won't get as much of a speed
up with our board as you will with a 68020, but the price is right! (BTW, if
you don't mind giving up floppy disk access and serial port access, I've had
some success with using a 32 meg clock on the external clock line on the video
port to run the whole system at 8/16MHz instead of 7/14MHz. You will need a
multisync monitor to display things, but for ray tracing into RAM:, it gives
some help...) :)
