[comp.sys.mac.misc] '040 accelerators and SoftPC

I saw an ad for an '040 accelerator by Total Systems in the last MacUser.  I 
called TS, and the guy I talked to says they get an average performance of 
about 4 times faster that an fx.  Sounds absolutely delectable.

I also talked to several knowledgeable folks; they said that "all the usual
suspects" would be coming out with '040 accel's as well.
 
According to Insignia Solutions, SoftPC with the EGA/AT module runs, on an fx,
about as same as an 8Mhz AT.  Would this '040 accelerator bring this to approx
32Mhz?  Better yet, has anyone actually bought one?  What's the result?

Email or posting, I don't care.  Feel free to forward this to other boards, if
you like.
