I just installed an accelerator board called the "JATO Board" in my ST...
I have to say that it isn't as thrilling as one might expect, but the price
is hard to beat.  For $99.95, you get a 68000-12 microprocessor withg
a little board attached to the top with wires going to a switch and an LED
indicator light.  Installation is simple.  All you do is unsolder your old
68000 and solder the included socket in place.  Place the new processor in
the socket, mount the switch and LED, and then your ready to rock & roll!
This upgrade will speed up applications requiring alot of computations, but
for some reason doesn't speed up PC_Ditto at all.  (I got an SI rating of .3
with and without it)  From what I hear, the other board for $400 dollars
gets the same benchmark results (The Turbo16 board).

Whatever happened to the Turbo ST board?  Last I heard, the guy was trying to
get the video to work.  The previous two boards run at 8mhz external and 16mhz
internal, so my guess is that he is trying to get an external 16mhz system
to work.  This type of mod would truly speed up the ST, but would require a
heck of alot of soldering and jumpers!
