Q: What's the best accelerator for the A3000D?

[mousehouse]

I'm looking for an accelerator for my A3000D but am having a hard time given the constraints... My A3000 does not have the INT2 modification made, but I put a rev.8 SCSI chip in it so I can live without SCSI. Preferably I would use an 68060 accelerator to get the most performance out of te machine, or a solid 68040 card with fast memory access...

However, I see a lot of boards have issues - for example the Cyberstorm Mk2 (I am offered one for a hefty price):

notes
CyberStorm 040 SN# B400506 - B400569 and CyberStorm 060 SN# B002827 - B003065 are affected by several DMA related problems due to a slight difference in the electrical specifications of certain parts caused by supplier change
symptoms:
SCSI units connected to the internal SCSI bus of the A3000(T) are not recognized while having RAM installed to the CyberStorm
does not work in the A4000T with RAM installed on the CyberStorm
in an A4000 with a Fastlane or a A4091 SCSI controller installed, peripherals connected to the SCSI bus are not recognized
boards with these serial numbers had to be sent back to Phase5 for rework

Are those symptoms often encountered?

Other than that there are the A3640 (which I have and runs OK in my A3000D - despite the DMAC-02), GVP T-Rex and T-Rex2 and the Cyberstorm Mk2 040/060 and Mk3.

What would be a good solid board to look out for?

Thanks for all the tips, I'll be on the lookout for a MK2 card then ;-)

The Warp Engine also is a very stable, very fast card, providing you can find the A3000 version which has a jumper wire for the Int2 fix (no soldering) and angled SIMM sockets.

Would the Warp Engine with the "straight" SIMM sockets fit in the A3000D without hacking and drilling in the case? I bought a WE040 on Amibay for my A4000D (still waiting on shipping), but if it fits the A3000D I might be tempted to put it in there...
