DKB 1240 found

     As I was digging through storage, I came across a box marked, "Sprit Technology - Internal Memory Expansion - Model IN1000 - 1.5MB."  Well, inside the box was the board for an Amiga 1000 and instructions but no daughterboard.  Without the daughterboard, the expansion was useless (unless I find the daughterboard in some A1000 in storage).
     However, in the same box and wrapped in a anti-static bag was a DKB 1240 accelerator with separate SCSI board.  Unfortunately, the SCSI board's connector cable was torn off... just the stubs remaining.  A replacement connector cable will be impossible to find, because it was a specialized cable and not a common one.
     The accelerator appeared to be in good shape, though.  It had a 50 MHz crystal and came with a math co-processor.  No RAM, so a SIMM (up to 128 megs) will have to be sourced.

          To be tested,
