Most everybody with an SX-1/SX32 would be happy to buy any accelerator

Unfortunately, plugging in an 040/060 is practically impossible to do with an
030 board.  Look at the Commodore attempt at using an 040 with 030 memory
access.  Slowww!  My GVP 040 board in my 2000 has HEAPS of chips to keep the
memory access at 040 speed.. :)
