Advice on an accelerator please.
« on: February 23, 2007, 01:20:28 PM »
Hello all, I'm looking to get an accelerator for my A4000D and I've got 2 in mind.

The expensive option is a Cyberstorm Mk-II 68060 @ 50MHz with what appears to be 32MB RAM, expandable to 128MB, for well over $300.

The other option is a MacroSystems Warp Engine 68040 @40MHz with 128MB RAM for $260.

What is everyone's opinion on these 2 please?

Thanks in advance.

Is either one of them more compatible than the other with software?  Either one have any issues with the AmigaOS?

Thanks again!

Looks like the 060 may get to $400 now.  Making me think more...
