I've had a Radius 25 Mhz accelerator in my SE for 2 months now and
I love it. For task that don't use floating-point extensively I
really get the 6x speedup that Radius claims; for those tasks it is
faster than a MacII.
  The only problem I've experienced so far that seems to be due to
the accelerator is that I cannot boot with MacsBug. Anybody know
how to fix that, or whether other debuggers work?
