[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] 68020 "accelerators" - opinions, etc?

pms@vicorp.com (Peter Shirley) (09/19/90)

I recall reading (can't recall where) a review of three or four 68020
accelerators for the ST; the reviewer concluded that you won't really get
much speed increase out of such things, with one exception: one of the
accelerators included a small (32K?) cache, and this accelerator actually
did provide some speed increase.
	Why am I telling you this?  Because I've seen no discussion of such
things on the net (not that I couldn't have overlooked them :), and I'd be
interested in hearing what people think about putting an '020 in an ST.
Have you any experience with any '020 accelerator for the ST?  Which
one(s)?  Was your experience good, bad, ugly?  Did you get your money's
worth?  I recall the prices being fairly low - ~$200-300 US.

	Anyone?
