- Also, using this setup for the RAM in the Falcon030 will provide another way
- to expand the machine. Supposedly, a small graphics card (like a 1280x960
- mono and/or 1024x768 color card) can use the RAM card connectors as well.
- This is according to Jim Allen of Fast Technologies. If it hasn't been
- mentioned, Jim is also already working on 40-50MHz+ accelerators for the
- Falcon030 as well as 68040 upgrade.
