Oh! I see what you mean now, yeah. I only put wacky RTG cards in my A3000 at the moment. But if I did put one in my A2000, thankfully I have an old but still working GeForce 030@40Mhz.

Hm, yeah. It's all kind of a slippery slope for sure. At least the BUFFEE gives us hope for a very cost effective bonkers accelerator solution later this year.

Yes, I keep forgetting about the accelerator (‚turbo‘) topic as I am always assuming that someone with an A2000 will naturally want to expand it and hence start with a better CPU. Otherwise you might go for an A500.

Be aware that while the TF accelerators like the TF53x will work I an A2000 they are not recommended. The do fit in the 78k socket. However, they were designed for the A500 and may cause issues with other expansion cards that the A500 does not have. YMMV.
