I've got the JATO Jet Accelerator 16mhz Board for $99. It appears to slightly speed up some things, but I haven't noticed much of a difference. Apparently it only helps during internal processing, but that's usually not much of a bottleneck. Is this board different from the Fast Tech Turbo16 that I've seen mentioned out here alot? In what way? Which is better? Will using TOS 1.4 with JATO give me that nitrous jolt that someone claims (Rich Covert)? My main purpose in buying JATO was to increase graphics speed in 'C', and the increased processing speed helps somewhat, sometimes. Unfortunately, it looks like in order to really get a performance increase for graphics, I'll need a stronger processor (68030, TT, MAC, SUN) or maybe that new graphics board ...
