I asked this before, but I suppose nobody knew the answer, so here goes again. Will the Marathon 030 accelerator for the II work with the Orchid RAM cache? This would give the machine a 32mhz 68030 w/ zero wait states (Like the DayStar Digital and the Cyclone boards) for about $1200 ($4700 for the others). With that and the FDHD upgrade, the machine would definately kill a II(c)(i)(x). Thanks, John Berg

(Comments about IIcx and Daystar board deleted) When I called Dove about this a couple of months ago, they said that the two boards were incompatible. HOWEVER, they said that they themselves are soon going to be marketing a board for the Mac II to do fast memory caching and that compatibility between it and the Marathon '030 is an important issue to them. Of course, they made no promises as to their ability to do iy, but they said they were going to try.

No. Dove have their own cache card, called the Racer, that will work with the Marathon 030. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Stephan Somogyi MacUserLabs@cup.portal.com NetWorkShop Coord. or MacUser ...{apple|uunet|sun}!cup.portal.com!MacUserLabs Stay alert, trust no-one, keep your laser handy.
