I still don't get why they didn't include an FPU.. or at least a socket for one. If you're going to make the ultimate a600 upgrade - why skimp on this?

Yeah but there are 2 common 030 accelerators that DO have FPUs - one of which is quite stable (but has no ram expansion options).
I'd have preferred they'd left me the choice whether to install an FPU or not (just like they leave you the choice to install a faster 030).
I have a MTEC 030 upgrade at the moment - if the new card had an FPU it would be a no-brainer whether to get the new card or not.. now I have to think.

Well the function of the kickflash has not been well explained yet. I've never been too sure of the utility of the zorro kickflash really.
PS: does anyone who has bought a zorro kickflash consider it money well spent?

well it does sound like an advantage then - providing they get the software working as they say.
As for the FPU it's not so much about using it, it's more about having it - just in case. Just like we don't really need 128MB of ram either.
