For task that don't use floating-point extensively I really get the 6x speedup that Radius claims; for those tasks it is faster than a MacII. The only problem I've experienced so far that seems to be due to the accelerator is that I cannot boot with MacsBug. Anybody know how to fix that, or whether other debuggers work?
