Hello everyone, My first post here. I recently brought a Atari Falcon 030 from eBay as spare or repairs. All good so far as it powers up and runs as it should.
I decided today to take it a part and give is a clean as a warranty stick coving one of the screes was dated 1997. Boy did it need a clean. So one I got down to the main board, i noticed a load of wires going to different points across the board. I think I have managed to work out what most of it does, but i just want to be sure what it is and how it works.

Likely some form of bus speeder. I don't know which one there are loads of them which people have done over the years.
If you benchmark your falcon with this software (select the falcon benchmark file) http://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/last/GB6/index.htm then you will see some higher than 100% scores on most tests.

It's PowerUp 2 (CPU @ 32 MHz) + basic clock patch.
