The Cyberstorm is only for the Amiga 4000. The 040 module is out now and
the 060 module is expected in February when Motorola release a decent size
batch of them.

I believe the fastest board for the 2000/2500 are the 28mhz 040 cards. GVP
do one and so did Progressive Peripherals and Software - or whatever there
name was. Don't know more than that on the 2000 side of things.
Of course there's the Warp system - the transputer based system, not the
040 one of the same name. It's cheap for what it is - more powerful than a
Cray in its fully expanded form so I'm told (?). I think NewTek are going
to write a version of LW to work with that? Can anyone confirm?
