All on Board, you can use 4 or 8 SIMMs of 1MB or 4MB type giving you
4, 8 or 16, 32 MB RAM.

I think in ACD's own Ad in a local Magazine ('local' not for Germany but for
the area of Bremen where ACD resides), the Price was ficxed to 5990.- DM.

I've not tested it too deep by my own, but last time I was at their shop,
the board was running 1.3 and thus the Copyback-Mode had to be turned off, 
since 1.3 doesn't support it. 
Under 2.x there shall be support and higher ratingins will be possible.
The board is buil for the A2000's Coprocessor-Slot, but there also a Version
for the A3000 announced and I remember the price around 3600.- DM.
