Found this in an old box of amiga hardware auction purchases from years ago.

Looks like the "PAMC-500" from Creative Microsystems (1988).

See: http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/pamc500

Thanks, that seems to be it. Missing the optional FPU.

I opened up the old Amiga (looks like I am getting back into this obsession again) and found it had an
ICD Adspeed accelerator installed on top of original. Same speed as this one I guess.

What do you know? I thought that only 68020 and 030 cards had 68881/882 FPU expansion options. Yet, here is a mere 68000 with a FPU slot. I take it that the PAMC500 was an early A500/A1000 expansion?

@PhantomInterrogative

I guess that was possible to use a 68881 with 68000. Some Atari accelerators which are 68000-based also came with a 68881.

For example: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Motorola-68000-16-MHz-68881-20MHz-ACCELERATOR-BOARD-for-Atari-ST-Mega-/222058022294

Don't ask me why: I just found the board's name & description :)

@Leo

What's your take on this?
Adram 540 , but how much ram?
Seems to be some odd locations for ram chips to be pulled or missing?
