I have the option to buy it for 40 Euro. It´s supposed to be an A500 turboboard but there doesn´t seem to be any name on it. Does it look familiar to anybody ???  :-?

EDIT : the info I have is : ST68020, date: Jan 88, PCS.L 922 0388 LS, processor: MC68020RC16E, co-processor: MC68882RC25A

Good question, didn´t think of Atari yet. Does anybody know of a site like our Big Book but then for Atari ???
I have sent the seller a mail to ask whether the bottom side has a connector for an 68000 of the A500 or a square thing like you say the Atari has ...

EDIT : got quick mail back : 2 rows of 32 pins  :-)

So there seem to be three options. One is that this is an experimental self made board and the other is that it may be a Mac card and the last one suggests it´s an Atari ST card ... makes it pretty complicated, not ???  :-?

Your post have not clarified what it really is but you all do seem to know a lot about hardware. I can only say that this board is supposed to fit in an A500 68000 processor and that the seller sells other Amiga hardware too. THIS is the seller´s link on Marktplaats.NL and THIS is the auction for this board so maybe you can see something that I have overlooked  :-o
