ACA 630/25 Stealth Accelerator

Depends on how much money you want to spend.

For ~£25 you could buy a 2Mbyte PCMCIA SRAM card and run most of the WHDload games from hard drive.

What you'll see is workbench speed improvements, disk access will be a lot faster and so will window refresh etc.

If you don't mind how sluggish the UI feels when starting the games then just get a PCMCIA SRAM card.

Another problem playing WHDLoad games on a 68000 CPU is the quit key for many games does not work

CTRL+A+A?

When you consider how fast the A600 will reboot (when streamlined) this isn't a problem.

where would I get the PCMCIA 2mb card?

If it has not sold yet there was one here :

Whdload does not work well, but some games will work, especially with a PCMCIA SRAM card to add some fast mem.

I have empirical evidence to the contrary. With KS3.1 (v40.63) and an A608 RAM card I was hard pressed to find titles that didn't work. Take the top 20 WHDload Amiga games and I bet 16+ work.
