Closed 68030 based accelerator for A3000

[bert64]

I need a 68030 based accelerator for the A3000, something like a Blizzard 4030 (were any other 68030 cards made other than the stock commodore one in the A4000?)...

For anyone who's wondering about the odd request, i am running some software which requires the 68030 MMU and is thus incompatible with 68040/68060, and a 50mhz 68030 should perform a lot better than the stock 25mhz one.

The on board 030 should have an MMU. However, A3630 CPU cards usually do not. (C= opted for the el-cheapo 68EC030). If your looking for more speed the Blizzard is probably your only option. However, you could over-clock the on board 030 to 28-30 MHz.

Yes, a 3630 is pretty much out of the question as they don't include an MMU, and since they're 25mhz it wouldnt be any faster than the stock cpu...

Were there ever any other 68030 based accelerators? Or is the blizzard the only one?

Just the Blizzard 4030.

Apparently there is also a card called the "Eureka Afterburner":

It also seems to use socketted cpu/fpu so could probably be upgraded if someone has a slower version.
