I don't know how many starving A500 users are in this newsgroup, but I hope I'm
not alone. I would like any information on the Hurricane 500 68020 accelerator
for the 500. This board is looking more and more attractive as an upgrade path
every day; from what I've seen of it, it looks solid, is expandable to 4 megs
of 32-bit memory, and will be within my price range this summer. I don't know
of any other processor accelerators that would be worth my while (I balk at the
limited capabilities of the CMI processors and the Midget Racers).
I would also buy a 590; would this be DMA, and if so, would there be any com-
patibility problems with the Hurricane?
Any replies would be appreciated (via e-mail or the net, whichever your poison)

In fact, I would be interested in any information that anyone has on Flick-Off. Also with regard to the Hurricane 500, I have heard some negative things about Imtronics who makes the board, any comments ? Christopher Schuck -- Christopher H. Schuck // Dept. of Math.

Hello Out There:
I'm interested in adding a Hurricane 500 board to my Amiga. Does
anybody know what type of ram chips it uses? I heard it can have
either 1 or 4 megs of 32bit ram. Clock speed of 14.28MHz or 28.56MHz
can be configured. Does anybody know if a 68881 can be replaced with
a 68882? If anybody has one of thes boards in there A500 let me know
I would like to know of any problems you might of had.
Thank You -- Ohio State -- chet@cis.ohio-state.edu
