- Well we've had one in for evaluation and it definitely isn't yet a
- practical proposition. Apollo have used the wrong type of socket to clip
- it to the SMD 68000 which just wobbles about all over the place.
- What it really needs is the sort of socket/clip used by in-circuit
- testers and ideally the board redesigning so it fits betted physically.
- As it is if you put a mug of tea down - or even click the mouse
- enthusiastically - the board wobbles and the machine crashes. I think
- they are redesigning it along these lines so watch this space.

- It was a big disappointment BTW as an A600 with a 3.5" 1.1GB drive, an
- acellerator & WB2.1 is quite a nice portable Amiga.
