I am running a music sequencing program on my Mac+, but it is recommended to use on an SE/30 or better because of the faster processor. Since my budget does not permit me to run out and drop mega $$$$ on an SE/30, is there an upgrade (under $1000) that would make my Mac+ run faster? I seen an add in MacWarehouse for a Dove Marathon 68030 board for $449, will this solve my problem and if so will the Mac+ be able to handle the upgrade (i.e. power supply, etc.)? Thanks in advance, JM I.T.G. Pittsburgh, PA

Better call the company that makes your sequencer app-some of them don't seem to like the accelerators.If you can get a good price for your plus,you could upgrade to a SE\30 for not all that much more than an accelerator.Maybe get a faster hard drive in the bargin. SE\30's are going for about $2500 or so-I sold my plus for $2200 with a 60 meg hard drive.It only cost me about $1400 to upgrade to SE/30 with 105 Quantum.I don't think thats too bad(of course-its qutie a bit more than an accelerator-but they were going for a grand when I upgraded) Mark.... --> Lininger Utilities Distribution Site<-- -- MARK HOLLINGSWORTH via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!354!1!MARK.HOLLINGSWORTH INET: MARK.HOLLINGSWORTH@f1.n354.z1.FIDONET.ORG
