Well i put it in the 500.
all my games seem to run normal no problems found yet.
shadow of the beast
menace
world circuit grand prix
lotus II
put pagestream in and the cursor kept up with my although i'm not the fastest typer
found a copy of sculpt 4d on a hard drive that works without asking the password, but I have to boot with 1.3 -- 3.1 it asks for the password???
that runs
I think fanscale had it right there is no real noticeable difference
It does seem to load programs a bit faster, but i haven't timed it yet.
thanks for the input!
Because of the way the Amiga games are using custom chips there is no point using an accelerator for things like 2D blitter/copper intensive games. Even if it is a dedicated clock doubling card that replaces the 68000 in the socket with extra logic to sync it into the system bus speed it will have no real effect other than possibly causing it to guru.
Also try them on something like Starglider II or F1GP where the speed of the game is down to the CPU. Slow arcade games due to inefficient use of the copper/blitter will show zero improvement unless they are pure software routines ie ST ports.
I had a 68010 in my A1000 decades ago, made sod all difference on 3D games. Waste of time and not worth the crashing, just get an 020 or 030 piggyback card if you prefer some internal solution. But make sure the card has dedicated 32bit Fast ram on it otherwise it's a waste of money.
