I'm looking for an accelerator for a SE and would like to know if anyone has experice with any. How much are they and how much faster do they run? Should I go the faster 68000 or upgrade to a 68020? thanks -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora SRI International mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________

Adding a Radius TPD through their Magic Bus was nice and easy too. On the other hand, I purchased a Dove Marathon MSE3 (with 68881) for my own Mac at home because it was almost $200 less. The Dove has its problems here and there though, and I am particularly annoyed that it breaks Turbo Pascal. As far as speed improvement goes, I can't tell the difference between the two. However, Dove requires 4 Megs on the accelerator board for maximum speed. > >How much are they and how much faster do they run?

I recommend the 68020 way so you can run the optimized Mac II versions of software such as StatView II and Mathematica and WingZ and... > oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo o COLIN ONG Dept.
