I have seen an advert in this country for a GVP 25MHz 68030 co-processor board for the B2000 and I would like to know of peoples experiences with this board. My current system is a B2000 with a Microbotics Hardframe with a ST157N hard disk. It is a rev 6 B2000 with 1Meg fatter Agnes. I would specifically like to know how you add 32 bit memory expansion to the board and how easy it is to disable and revert to the standard 68000. Thanks in advance for any help on this subject. -- // -- Steve Fisher Micro. Unit. Computer Science Dept. \\ |-- & > Reading University //.||. Shawn Fraser Cybernetics Dept.

What would be the increase in speed of just the GVP 68030 without ANY of the 32 bit memory? Also is it possible to purchase the 68030 board with the memory and WITHOUT the hard drive controller? If so, what is the going price? Gavin Stark (gavs_c22@uhura.cc.rochester.edu)

I'm getting about a 50% speed increase, depending on what's going on. It is possible to buy the board without the memory- I don't know the price, I got mine from a friend- but you can't get it without the hard drive controller. That is built-in.
