Does it work with GEM? Apparently so, but I had understood from
several people that the GEMDOS would not tollerate any type of speed
increase, even just putting in a 68010, which gives an effective 10Mhz
68k speed. I had also read about a board to put in a 68020 and 68881 running
at various speeds, but they said that too would not work with GEMDOS.
I had been waiting for the release of MINIX/ST to get one of these, but
if it will work now, great!!

Could you _please_ give the address if it satisifies the stuff
up above? I imagine alot of people will be interested if it does work
with GEMDOS.
