Does anyone have any information about the CSA Midget Racer accelerator? It apparently has a 68020 (12 or 16 Mhz?), slot for a math co-processor and supposedly runs 50% faster than the stock Amiga. It would appear that it has no option for 32 bit ram so would the increase in speed be sufficient for it's price --- around $329-349 mail order? The A2620 is out of my price range but any noticeable increase in speed would still be appreciated. Bill Farmer University of Arkansas WF24741@UAFSYSB

I don't know wether or not the 68881 slot is included in the above price...but: With the 68881, the price is about $400. Without, the price is about $350. The board will be shown at the next ECAUG (East County Amiga Users' Group) meeting in Spring Valley, CA. If you're in the San Diego area for the second Friday in April, come check us out. If you are inter- ested in attending, please call me at 619-670-9524. That's all for now! -- ***************************************************************************** ARPA: crash!doc@nosc.mil INET: doc@crash.CTS.COM Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean everyone isn't out to get me... *****************************************************************************
