He speaks the truth. The VXL-30 is about worthless without the ram board.
You can get some impressive AIBB numbers, but that is about it. You wind up interfacing the system memory through the 68000 socket at essentially the same speed.
With the memory board it is pretty dang good. It was dissed back in the day because it wasn't GVP or the like, but mine
was great.
With I could find mine.
You will probably never find the VXL-32 board alone, but if the accelerator goes cheap enough owning it wouldnt hurt. Just dont expect alot of performance.
