What can be installed in the trap door socket besides memory?

1) Midget Racer 030.  

2) a lame PC emulator. lol

I was happy enough with a modest Supraturbo28, in '93.

That board rocks. Much better than the ICD AdSpeed chip I might add too.

But yeah, I sort of always forget about the 040 cards that were available. What's the availability on something like that? Bet when you did accidentally find one, they'd be pretty cost prohibitive. Also, the heat exchange with 'em in an A500 case can't be all that great. I wonder what the reliability factor was like with 'em.

Would be real nice with USB too... Jens, PLEASE???

Up until recently, Amigakit had clockport adapters ($20-$30?) for use with Amiga 1000/500/2000. I always wondered if it would be worth hooking a Subway to it since I wasn't aware of any USB drivers for the 68000. Well, now there are (there was a thread about it recently here) and the clockport adapters are now sold out  

Looks like the 68000 can handle simple USB stuff like input devices and printing...

Yep, lame PC emulator : http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/powerpc (not PowerPC like PPC !!!)

:lol:  No kidding! How cool would that be... A500 running AmigaOS4.0 on a trap door PPC expansion board!

@Tenacious - I did test it with a few other programs that yielded about the same results. Compatibility not good at all. I may someday move that to another machine where the expansion RAM sits at a different address and see if that's the conflict. Honestly, I have more testing to do, before I make a solid conclusion. Most of the programs I was playing with needed the Fast Ram, so disconnecting it to check compatibility on a 512kb machine was counterproductive. I did have a SupraTurbo28 once. That didn't give me any problems whatsoever and I noticed a big improvement right away with that thing switched on.

So far, the cheapest "accelerator" solution I've found for a harddriveless A1000 is to optimize disks using B.A.D.! That thing seriously works
