[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] ICD AdSpeed

david@bdt.COM (David Beckemeyer) (04/17/91)

Do many people have the ICD AdSpeed?

I recently put one in a Mega ST-4 with a Moniterm board and
it seemed to work pretty well.   I left the machine on overnight
and it had crashed by morning.  It seems that it crashed within
a few hours.  The problem seems to be heat related, because the
system seems to get flakey after it's been on for a while.

Has anybody else experienced similar problems?

For those of you with score cards, add 1.  I've had mine for a number of
months.

Mine was added to an old 520ST (w/2.5M).  I can't speak for the installation
into a Mega, but in a 520 there doesn't seem to be a heat problem.  I run my
ST for about 8 hours a day (as a terminal).

I just had a friend who bought an ad speed call me up too tell me that
ICD shipped him a dead 68K with the board!

That must suck.

    I would send you my head in the mail, shipping paid, but I am wimpering
    silently.

I've had my Adspeed since just after the last Glendale show. Its in a mega 
4 that runs 24 hours a day, no problems.
