- This is the best one to go for exept for one uncertainty - does it have TWO
- simm slots? That the reason I got my GVP A1230/40MHz (nolonger in
- production).
-
- There isn't (as far as I know) another product to match it`s features, speed &
- price :) . I mean `030/50MHz + 4Mb Fast Ram at ú300 just *has* to be good :).
-
- If you didn`t know, it can disable the `030 with some keys at reset; a very
- useful feature which I miss :( . Oh, and I can`t use standard simms (need
- special GVP ones <sigh>). Still I got my accelerator at ú300 over a year ago,
- when others were at something like ú400 :)) .
-
- Most of the other accelerators available are REALLY `tacky` - done on the
- cheap & so miss certain features (& maybe a little compatibility with
- overclocking?)...
-
- BTW: SCSI option is very useful if you intend to get more than a CD drive
- later on!
