Does anybody has some experience with 'Dove Marathon 030'($ 449) ? My current system is a MAC SE 20 meg HD and 2.5 meg RAM. Will I need additional memory (or other additions)? Are there any performance test? Are there problems with AU/X 2.0? Thanx in advance. steffo! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steffo Weber, GMD St. Augustin, West Germany e-mail: steffo@gmdzi.gmd.de -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two things that I have found that do not run, and one minor annoyance. TypeAlign does not run, and there is not yet an init to make the sound system operational. The irritant is that you cannot format new disks all the time. I use Init to disable the card, format a bunch and reinstall it. Messy but it works. As for the 030, I'd recommend it. I have far too many toys to buy to pour my life savings into an FX. :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- lucy@mofh.uucp Gary J.

Could someone tell me if Dove was really planning to bundle Virtual with its Marathon 030 boards, or was this just a silly rumor? I have a Plus, and was planning on getting a Marathon 030 board in the near future. Does the board have a RAM cache? Do you have to add fast RAM to it? Any troubles with installation? E-mail is fine, I'll post a summary if I get good replies. Brian Patten patten@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu
