Yes, you have to do some tricks to get the memory configured. Use a program like FastExec to to this because the bundled software does not work with later versions of the OS (3.x). Once you get it configured, it is an excellent card. I probably still have my settings around somewhere...

I bought one of these in the late '90s for about $200 and sold it a few years later for about the same amount when I upgraded. It is probably worth at least the same amount now with the shortage of accelerators out there.

Here are the argumnets that I used with Fastexec to configure 32MB of memory...

C:FastEXEC ADDMEM 0x8000000 0x200000 5 10 ADDMEM 0x8400000 0x1C00000 5 10 ADDRESS 0x8000000 FASTEXP FASTSSP FASTVBR FASTMEM FASTINT CACHE 0x80001111 REBOOT
 
I can't remember if this was the latest & greatest that I used; it was a long time ago.

This goes just prior to SetPatch in the startup-sequence.
