AmiTek: Hawk   
Gasteiner: M1202

Max Ram:8MB   
Ram Type:1 x 72pin SIMM   
FPU:Optional 68882 (PLCC) at 20, 33 or 40Mhz.   
RTC:Yes   
Connection:   A1200 Trapdoor slot.   

The hawk board may have been rebadged by several resellers, for example Gasteiner sold this card as the M1202.

I guess having a 030 card makes this pretty pointless? or do you need both?

Having an 030 does make that card pointless, you can't connect more than one accelerator at a time :-)

Any ideas why there's a battery-sized hole in it?  The use I can think of is to give you a good hold when removing it ;-)

Airflow from the underside to the plastic door, and I guess if you wanna pull the card out more easily if you're ever to remove it from the CPU slot.

Yep, have this very card in my loft, just a ram expansion + fpu job. And yes the hole is for easy removal of the card!!
