- selectable floppy drive speed (double or normal)
- 28 MHz CPU turbo mode (works also with 16 MHz 68SEC000 parts)
- fast blitter mode

- improved usability for OSD menu
- quicker navigation through long ADF lists by keyboard shortcuts
- support for 2 MB of Chip and 1.5 MB of Slow RAM for piggy-back RAM modified boards

This FPGA release is ready to use with the upcoming ARM mini-board upgrade.  Installation of the upgrade will give the following benefits:
