Here's a bit of info I gleaned from cucug:-
Double the Speed of Your '40 Processor?
1999-11-23 - In response to recent mailing list questions, loyal AO
visitor,
Daryl Holley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) of BlackSun Studios sent us a
pointer to
Sonnet's "QuadDoubler" product (
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/quaddoubler.html ).
Originally intended for the Macintosh Quadra series, the QuadDoubler
upgrade
card "uses a high-quality Motorola 100/50 MHz 68040 processor".
Several
people have now confirmed that it also works with the Amiga.

Main Processor: Motorola MC68040, clocked at 80/40 and 100/50
Megahertz
The Sonnet Quad Doubler is a circuit board about 2" wide by 4"
long. One
half has a zillion pins on the bottom to match the pins on the bottom
of a
68040. The other half has 68040 with a gnarly heat sink on top. There
is
additional circuitry to make the 68040 run at twice the clock speed of
the
68040 25Mhz Accelerator (Mac's Centris or Quadra) it's plugged into.
(There
are four different models. The BST-40F, for the Centris 610, costs
$200;
the BST-50FA, for the Quadra 610, and the BST-50FB and FC. The cost,
about
$200. I would recommend staying away from the BST-40F until they are
tested
with the Amiga products. I personally own a BST-50FA.
Installation is pretty simple. The instructions that come with the
Quad
Doubler are clear and well illustrated. You open the case and remove
the
original CPU. The kit comes with a little tool you use to gently pry
up the
CPU. Then you plug the Quad Doubler into the CPU socket. You have to
first
remove the expose CPU -- but surprisingly enough, there is room for it
to go
back, even with the big heat sink on the Quad Doubler. Put the case
back on,
plug everything back in, and you're in business. If you have any
questions
=2E.......e-mail me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
