[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] ICD Adspeed Accelerator

Just a quick note to let folks know about the IC AdSpeed ST 16MHz accelerator.

I bought one from MicrOtyme for $229.  Had it installed by ICD for $40. I love
it! I have been spending most of my time in PageStream lately.  It really
speeds it up.  Is seems to be compatible with all my software.  The only thing
it causes trouble with is my QMI Deskcart (maybe it does'nt like to be read
so fast?). It speed up Flight Simulator II without any adverse effects.

The general speed up is around 66%, but can be much faster if the code
contains loops that stay in the 32K on-chip cache.

If you're considering an an accelerator, go for it!
