Best accelerator for the A500, CPU mounted?
 
What can be installed in the trap door socket besides memory?
 
EDIT: Sad that the 68040 won't run on Kick 1.3 to save the original rom.

I have a Derringer 030 myself. fitted with 50mhz 030, 50mhz 68882 and 32MB ram.
It rocks. in an a 500 it is lightning fast.
If you find one, i recomend it.

The DCE Viper 530 / eMatrix 530 is without a doubt the best accelerator for A500.

030@50MHz
68882@50MHz
128Mbyte RAM
IDE
SCSI II

However they are very rare and I've never seen one for sale on eBay in 10+ years and believe me I've been watching.

If one ever came up I would imagine it would go for silly money (£500+)

Oh my, the wet dream of A500 expansion.

i guess most bang for buck is the Derringer option...
Although, no ide option on it.
