- Can anyone tell me anything bad about the Apollo A1230 accellerator-
- 030, MMU, 50mhz, FPU socket, 2 SIMM sockets, and a SCSI adaptor?
-
- Im being offered one (in trade of my GVP 1230-II with 4mb GVP RAM)
- because I want an MMU and more RAM (GVP RAM is too expensive).
-
- The card looks a bit dodgy because the 030 chip has the writing on the
- top scratched off !!! Now Im not suggesting that it has been clocked
- but why else would the speed be rubbed out? And Ive heard that some
- accellerators get very hot - my GVP doesnt at all.
-
- If anyone knows anything bad about this card please let me know or Ill
- go and swap it and then find out later!
-
- Alternatively I could sell my GVP card (with RAM) and go buy a new
- Phase5 or Power Computing card. Anyone interested in the GVP?
-
-
- Thanks in advance for any help,
-
