[comp.sys.mac.misc] question about DayStar accelerator

To Robin Goldstone:
     You recently asked about the Daystar 40 accelerator.  I installed the
Daystar 40mHz in my Mac II about a month ago.  In general I have been very
pleased with it.  I timed certain operations on the old Mac II board before
installing the new one, and the difference in computing speed really was
dramatic.
     The only odd thing I noticed was system crashes when my
screen-saver utility (After Dark) came on.  My solution was to remove After
Dark, although I realize that this is not ideal.  In addition, I think that
there have been several notes in this or other news groups recently
describing crashing problems after installing the Daystar accelerator; you
might want to look them up.
