64 megs of "other" memory? Why they are not mapped as fast ram

It is. Fast memory is displayed as other memory.
There would be no way to map 64MB as ranger memory ("slow memory") anyway, maximum is 1.75MB.

And what's the purpose of that voltage module?

Apparently the same board is used for Viper 1240, where 68040 is 5V device. 68060 is 3.3V. So the voltage module adjust the 5V->3.3V.

About the pictures:

I have to say that HW is not looking very professional. For example that soldering on the board is not looking too good, nor the voltage module.

But, hey, if it works and is cheap, I guess it's ok. :)
