-Xellent30 (Excellent San) is manufactured and sold from Research Systems, Ltd., Tokyo, 1995, X68000-series MPU is the accelerator board.
+Xellent30 is a CPU accelerator board for the X68000 series and was manufactured and sold by Tokyo Systems Research Co. Ltd. from 1995. It is equipped with a MC68EC030 CPU at 25MHz and 68882 FPU at 33MHz. This product is intended to have similar speed of X68030 and is available for the following systems.
-This product, MC68EC030 (25Mz) 68882 and the MPU (33Mz) Equipped with a co-processor speeds on par with the X68030 X68000 (?) Is an attempt to.

 **Testing the Xellent30s**
-When you have finished installing the Xellent30s, Your Advantage.
+After the installation, check if the Xellent30s is working. Use only minimal configuration for testing which consists of RGB monitor and a keyboard. Switch on the X68000 only after making sure that Xellent30s is firmly attached to the CPU socket on the motherboard. If the system does not start or behaves abnormally, switch it off imediately and test its all functions. After confirming that the system starts, boot Human68kVer3.0 from the included setup disk and execute "chk_xel.x". The "CHK_XEL.X" is a self-diagnostic program which will verify the operation of 68EC030. Please follow the instructions on the display screen.
-Analog RGB, with minimal configuration of the keyboard, turn on the unit after it was confirmed that the MPU is mounted on the motherboard socket Xellent30s.
-Body does not start, etc., if any, let's check the parts off the power immediately.
-After confirming that the body starts to start the Human68kVer3.0 disk supplied with this product, "Setup Disk" chk_xel.x in
+**Installing the CPU boot selection menu**
-Run.
-"CHK_XEL.X" is a program to check the operation of the 68EC030 (diagnostic program) is.
+By default the Xellent30s will start in 68000 mode when the X68000 is switched on and you will need a driver to use it in MC68030 mode. A program which allows the user to easily select whether to start in either MC68000 or MC68030 mode has been included in the setup disk.
-Then, please follow the instructions on screen.
+The CPU boot selection menu can be installed in SRAM by using the following procedure.
+  *1) ch30inst.x and ch30.sys must be in the current directory.
+    *ch30.sys - CPU boot selection menu SRAM program
+    *ch30inst.x - installer of ch30.sys
+  *2) Type ch30inst and [Enter]. This will install ch30.sys to SRAM. If will not install if SRAM does not have enought free space. In that case, please delete the program that is resident in SRAM.
+  *3) The CPU boot selection menu is now installed to SRAM. You can use the numeric keys or cursor keys to select the CPU which you wish to boot.
