- I am planning on buying a v32bis modem for my A500. I have heard all
- sorts of horror stories about the ol' 68000 not being able to keep up at
- 1700cps AND multitask at the same time. The latest verion of Term
- (which STILL crashes, BTW) had a little utility in it called VBR (I
- think.) This relocated some vector into true fast ram for better serial
- performance with M68010+ processors. So, as I have true fast ram and
- KS2.04 with the 2.04 serial device, is it worth getting the M68010 and
- running VBR? What sort of performance increase is there?
