I've received a Daystar Accelerator II for my MacII. The Accel-Card is the 50MHz (CPU and FPU) version. I just want to tell all the other A/UX'ers out there who either have the Daystar card or are thinking about getting it that A HARDWARE MODIFICATION TO THE CARD MUST BE MADE BY DAYSTAR FOR A/UX TO RECOGNIZE OR USE THE FLOPPY DRIVES. If you have the card, you have to send it back to Daystar for the mod; turnaround is quick (3 days in my case). If you haven't gotten it yet be SURE to tell your dealer or Daystar (if you buy direct) that you will need the mod, which consists of a little daughter-board. Good luck! :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------: : : : I ain't endorsing nothing... just offering info! : : : :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------:

This brings up a question I've been wondering about. We all know A/UX runs on an SE/30. But will it run on any of the 68030 cards sold for the SE or Mac+?
