I might be ordering 1 lot off that eBay auction... yock, if you want just 1 I'll split the cost of 1 + shipping and ask the seller to mail 1 to you, and 2 to me. (I'll make the payment, then you can pay me for the 1.)

I believe 1 comes to about $12.65 (including shipping).

Let me know if you're still looking.  I'll keep 2 for my A1000 and A500.  :-D

Oops, nevermind... Just realized you actually bought a lot already.

I guess I'll have to buy 3.  8-)

@[Everyone stating a clock crystal hack is better]

Any good How-To's/FAQ's/diagrams that provide good info on doing this and overcoming things such as not being able to use your floppy drive, etc?  I'm interested in this... Now that I've acquired a nice A1000, I may experiment with my A500 a bit... See what kind of performance I can squeeze out of this bloated-keyboard-with-a-floppy beast.

At $12.65 including shipping, the 68010 is next to free.  Considering that accelerator upgrades for the A500/A1000 go on eBay for the hundreds (US $), a pesimistic average of 3% gains in speed by a $12 CPU isn't really *that* bad.

Does anyone know how it behaves with DPIV?
