I am very much interested in adding more computational power my ST.
A few options come to mind right at the start, and 

#1 a 16MHZ accelerator board
many variations on the theme exist, with differing levels of 
performance improvement and compatibility. Has anyone run
QUINDEX (~v1.5) or a similar benchmark program to test the
climed increase in speed?

#2 Is there any way to add math coprocessor support to an ST
other than buying a MEGA :-(

#3 Does the [mythical] "transputer box" that hooks to the ST through
the DMA port exist and if so can I get it in the United States.
(or should I use this as an excuse for a European vacation)
What sort of speed does it have and what tools come with it.


I was hoping that a few netlanders could share some names and addresses of 
vendors, or better yet some experience they have had with these products. 
I'll be happy to post a synopsis of replys. Muchas Gracias.
