Okay, some pictures here.

Shows a few nice last minute changes done to the board. hmm :-P

64 megs of "other" memory? Why they are not mapped as fast ram :-?

And what's the purpose of that voltage module?

About the pictures:

I have to say that HW is not looking very professional. For example that soldering on the board is not looking too good, nor the voltage module.

Also the cpu itself, it clearly shows that it's a recycled one. It looks like it had a fan glued on its surface.

But, hey, if it works and is cheap, I guess it's ok.

At this price it's a purchase well worth considering

It is. Fast memory is displayed as other memory.
There would be no way to map 64MB as ranger memory ("slow memory") anyway, maximum is 1.75MB.

Ooops sorry I forgot that WB calls fast mem "other mem". It's many years since my toolbar is changed with mcp, it shows the amount of memory as "chip ram" and "fast ram". I prefer this to "graphical" and "other".
