I presume that you didn't want the 32k cache upgrade. They don't state on their
webpage that they have the 1.8, presumably because it's copyrighted, and it's
possible that they don't have the copyright permission. Of course I'm making a
presumption and by no means I claim this to be a fact.

However John had mentioned that he had in the past ordered the 1.8 from them.
This is also mentioned in the Accellerators FAQ as well. I would presume that
perhaps there might be a little price break if we send in our original EPROMs
and have them reprogramed, but I don't know if he offers that service.

I was planning on waiting until I had sufficient interested people before asking
for ordering info, since I didn't want him to get geared up for an order that may
or may not come to pass. Another thing to note, if we order as a group he might
give us a break on some items. I think John mentioned that he got some free
TWGS cables in his last order.
