- I highly recommend it. I've had one for about 3 or 4 years. No problems.
- Everything runs about 3.5 times faster than a stock 68000.

- Yes! You need true FAST ram. Not the 512K in the trapdoor kind. It should be
- 100 nanoseconds or faster. I have a Supra 500XP hardrive/ram expansion unit
- with 2 Megs of FAST, plus 1 Meg of CHIP in the 500.

- Hope this helps. Oh! By the way, a used Turbo28 should be no more than $90 US.
- I bought mine new for $130.
