    Sure it runs MOS quite well (atleast thats the impression I got in Bad Bramstedt), but it's surely nothing one should buy instead of a Peg2 (or even a Peg1). Think of it as an 1MB A500 in 1990, enough to run 99% of all Amiga-SW, but in contrast to an 18MB A3000 you couldn't effectily run more than 1 (bigger) app at the time (and you didn't get the speed either).

    But than, why did the A500 outsell the A3000 by a factor of 500 (just in 1990) ? Cos it was just good enough for what most costumers needed at an competetive price.

    Putting another 128MB on it, and than the onboard GFX, USB2 and 2nd IDE others will surely demand would put it into the region of 500$, completly spoiling it's point.
