Mega Midget Racer: Am I missing something here?

[desiv]

Actually, I just saw this on BBoAH:
 

The card also includes 512K of very fast SRAM which can be configured  as system RAM, or be used to cache the Kickstart for increased ROM  access. These are four chips located in the top left hand corner of the  board.

If you have that and it's enabled, that should be FAST RAM and your Amiga should perform much better.
If you can disable it being used as the Kickstart cache, perhaps that will speed things up?
(If that's the same model...)

(If it's in the same memory location as tom's 8M, you might not be able to use both at the same time..)

That's why I was wondering if the memory locations might be conflicting with the tomthul RAM chips.

And I think Sysinfo is great for measuring standard Amigas and normal expansions, up to about 68030's.
But beyond that and you start doing things like playing with ROMs into RAM...
I'm not sure Sysinfo can keep up.. ;-)

Regardless, it's been said many times - an accelerator on the cpu slot w/ no memory isn't much better than no extra cpu at all...

Yep, but that accelerator should have memory.
Just 512k, but that's memory and it should help a lot...
I'm wondering if it's not enabled for some reason.
(Setting or conflict)

its optional, as per this link:

http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/megamidget

and doesn't have it either.

That's for the 8m RAM board.
But it should come with 512k, as per the link I posted above.

Tablet won't let me edit.
Aha.
So the 512k is optional too, but not a board.
He just might need SRAM chips.
