What is a SX32?

It is an internal expansion for the CD32 games console that provides it with Amiga peripherals. For more info on the expnasion options, see this advert

There were 4 versions made and according to the DCE website only 2,500 units in total were made.

SX32 Mark 1

The first model. It allowed the addition of a 2.5" IDE drive, upto 8 Mbyte of memory and a 68882 FPU as well as the normal Amiga peripheral connectors
SX32 Mark 2

As afar as I know, an improved version of the SX32 Mark 1 with better memory detection logic.
SX32 Pro 030 25/40 MHz.

The SX32 Pro added a 680EC30 processor at 25 or 40 MHz. There was support for upto 64mbyte of ram in 1 SIMM socket. An optional 68882 could be fitted running at the same speed as the CPU.
SX32 Pro 030 50 MHz

The top of the range model, this had a full 68030 (with MMU) compared to the EC processor. This is the model I have! :)
