If you are into educational torture, this might be the project for you!  ;)

I tried this hack back in the early 90's for an A500.  I thought there was only 1 version of the hack.  The most memorable point was the continuing system crashes, I don't remember getting the system to run for more than a minute or 2 at best when jumpered to 14 MHz.  As I was preparing to build this, I was never able to find a 68010 that was rated for 14 MHz.  

As others have suggested, a 68010 at the normal clock rate, coupled with some true FAST ram is in every respect a better option.

I agree with Save2600 that the Supra Turbo28 is far and away the best accelerator for an Amiga with 16-bit memory.  I have 2 of them!  Come to think of it, I think I traded my AdSpeed to him for an A2088.  Was that you? :)

I was sorely disappointed with the AdSpeed, too.  I didn't get even close to 2x, and while it wouldn't crash if it was alone in the system, it was incompatible with every expansion I had!  ICD was infamous for selling hardware that would not play nice with stuff from other makers.
