Hi. Since I'm not sure if my last note got out...
Does anyone know what is going on with the 68030 board that
was mentioned for the Mega's a while ago. Is it still being
worked on, has the idea been dropped, etc.? <-- (Fast & Small's)
If it is still being worked on, could someone please post the
specs. If not, does anyone know how well the 68020 board that
is out in Germany works? The 68030 board (16Mhz?) Prices?
Thanks for any replies. (English or Deutsch).

The 16 MHz version seems to be availeble now, 24 and 32 MHz versions are worked on. To me upgrading the ST does not look like a good choice, if the TT should be real one day; the small bus bandwith of the ST design (slow RAM) could make the TT woth the price. hase -- Hartmut Semken, Lupsteiner Weg 67, 1000 Berlin 37 hase@netmbx.UUCP Hi!

FAST TECHNOLOGY was there demonstrating their 68030 MEGA ST upgrade board. I'm not sure if it is for sale yet, but I did see one... ... He's definately working on it... and it did seem to work... ------------- In a related story, ICD was at the WAACE show with their new 16 Mhz upgrade. WOW it was compact! Seems to be neat. They were taking advanced orders for it. Said it was being tested in the field, and that the first shippment will be going out in a few weeks! ------------ Also, GADGETS BY SMALL was at the ATARIFEST with their TT!! So was DOUBLE CLICK SOFTWARE!! (needless to say I had my picture taken next to a TT. If you can't own one, at least you can capture the memories!) These two machines were the older developers 16 Mhz machines... ICD claimed to have a 32Mhz TT from Germany... (they didn't have it at the show). Later, Jim Tauberg
