I'm worried about the speed. Would much rather see a new 68K/PPC accelerator for the classic with onboard memory sockets.

Would also like to see a new Buster Rev with proper DMA without bugs.

"An accelerator would be nice indeed, but still limited to 128MB by the CPU slot. This RAM board also has the advantage of being much cheaper"

Not really, the A2000 accelerators have much more than the 8MB limit of the ZII space. I'm of course just speculating but I've see various posts in the past indicating that more than 128MB would simply work like in the A2000, i.e. only 128MB would be acessible by the ZIII bus, which is more than enough for expansion cards.

Not saying that this cool card doesn't have it's space in the market, judging by the fastlane prices on eBay.
Overall I've found most stuf
