- The derringer 030 - 68030 25 Mhz (full 030,not EC030)
- Optional FPU at 25 or 50 Mhz
- 1 optional 32-bit SIMM 1,2,4,8,16 or 32 MB.
- (60ns for burst mode needed? / 32Mb not available yet)
- The deringer goes into the 68000 socket and measures about 15 x 15 cm.

- Sysinfo 2.56 claims: (vs a500)
- x .97 nocaches no 32-bit ram
- x 1.20 caches no 32-bit ram
- x 6.xx nocaches 32-bit ram
- x 8.03 caches 32-bit ram
-
- The deringer 32-bit RAM does not go into the autoconfig(tm) adress range.
- Implies: d3 dram (~addram) needed in startup-sequence.
- more than 8 mb fast ram alowed.
