Whoops - misread you info - thought you had two :) Best place is probably
ePay - I saw an SM71 listed just last night. It's probably best if you get
a matching CPU (same speed and cache size) - some people have had success
mixing and matching, but I haven't...

Nope, it's not - it would say 'async' after local if it were. The 'async'

the options in detail (I've had good results using soft updates rather than
async mounts, YMMV).
