If you have got a towered A1200 with Micronik Zorro3 busboard WITH "a CPU Fast slot for fitting A3000/A4000 style accelerators" according to The Big Book, can you then fit a Cyberstorm PPC card or any other 68060 or 68040 card ??? Can I for example remove the 3640/25 mhz card out of my A4000D and plug it into such a tower ?? Without A1200 turboboad of course because otherwise I can not use the slots in Zorro3 mode ...

Acill : depends on how much you ask for it ?! I also have got a brandnew Mediator 4000D here, unpacked, straight from Elbox, but I didn't have time yet to install it ... also have got a pci Voodoo4 and pci Voodoo5 (brandnew too) so a CVPPC is not really something I was looking forward to ...

Let's make it complicated now. In my Elbox A1200 T I have got a Z4 busboard and a Blizzard 233/60 PPC card + Bvision. Let's forget about the money issue, would it be faster if I replaced the Z4 by a Z3 busboard and add a Cyberstorm PPC card instead ???  :-?  Apart from not being able to use DMA on those Z3 slots, would the transfer to the cards be so much faster than Zorro2 ???  :-?
