- You could go and look at both the Phase5 web pages
-
- http://www.phase5.com (i think)
-
-
- or the Amiga Tech home page
-
- http://www.amiga.de

- I don't think that the PPC card will be for Zorro II as the existing cards
- from Phase 5 (the cyberstorm) fit in the processor expansion slot.
-
- I know that phase 5 are putting together a '060 card for the A2000 but I don't
- think that the PPC card will be available for it.
-
- There is supposedly a very good upgrade option for existing '060 owners, but I
- wouldn't go for an '060 just for that reason.
-
- The new PPC chips (604) are rated at twice the speed of a 166Mhz pentium at
- 66Mhz
