I've got the VXL-30 at 33mhz(I think) with 2mb ram installed in my A500.

The machine is very fast, responsive, etc.  I remember doing benchmarks back when I first got it, and I was impressed.  General operations, like compressing/uncompressing was much much quicker.

I'm in the process of upgrading from 2mb -> 8mb.  Hunting down the chips has been a PITA but I think I finally found some compatible chips, and in combination with an adapter (which I'm not sure if I can get yet) should do the trick.

Well, I won the auction on Ebay so I'm now the proud owner of a VXL-30 albeit without the Ram card. Does the board work without the SETVXL s/w?


Yes, you don't need the software.  I haven't found the software terribly useful although there are a lot of different options.  Alot of them pertain to temporarily overriding the hardware jumpers, etc.

Check your PMs.
