The images clearly show it's an Apollo1230 card with a 030/28Mhz and 4Mb Ram. Looking at it I think the HD jumper should be closed. If that won't help getting the computer stable try change the simm (the card can take simms up to 32Mb for a total of 64Mb). There's an FPU on the card (68881/28Mhz). Estimated speed improvement with such a card is roughly about 6-7times that of a normal A1200 and the FPU speed up math calculasions alot helping out with 3D games, renders and packing tools. SCSI controller is onboard (the 26pin connector is to attach a 25pin DS), speed 3.5Mb/s.

Hmm.. old forum backups seem to have strolled in...

No not worth the hazzle... at least not untill you got something better... will only get you around 25-35$.

On you're question if they can have any more memory than 64Mb with extras the short answerr is no. The long answerr is yes if you get a tower and a zorro bussboard and a zorro memory card but on the turbo itself the anserr is no.
