[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Brainstorm Mac Plus Upgrade

hideg@spsd4360a.erim.org (Steve Hideg (Mr. Fabulous) ) (04/23/91)

Hello.

Anyone here familiar with the 2-chip upgrade to the Mac Plus offered by
Brainstorm Inc.? There was a short blurb about it in the Feb 5 1991
MacWeek (p. 82). It consists of a 16MHz 68000 and an ASIC to replace
a timing chip. It's supposed to give performance comparable to a Mac II.
Price is $249.

I called Brainstorm and spoke to someone who did not tell me much.
He did say that it appears to have no compatibility problems with any
software.

Does anyone have experience with or opinions about this?
Please let me know.

Thanks/pax

--Steve
