- I have finally received some grant money to up my Mac IIci.
- Now I am struggling with the many options available, and I
- would appreciate if I could get some advice on this (since
- this is a reasonably large investment).
-
- First my objectives:
-
- (1) I want to improve the speed of the processor; most of my
- work is running lisp applications.
- (2) My highest compatability priority is in being able to
- run A/UX. Any option excluding A/UX is not viable.
- (3) Sounds funny, but the price is not that crucial
- (everything here in Japan is phantastically expensive anyways).
-
- As far as I can tell from the local market (and believe me,
- that is not easy to find out), my options basically are:
-
- (a) Get an apple logic board upgrade to a Quadra 700.
- (b) Radius Rocket 25, 25i, 33
- (c) Daystar Power Cache 50Mhz
-
- I would really appreciate if somebody could point me to the
- comparative merits of these choices (here even Apple dealers
- cannot tell you what you really get in the IIci->Quadra
- upgrade).
-
- Further, I have also seen something called Quadra Overdrive,
- by Newer Technology. Does that make any sense in connection
- with a Quadra upgrade?
-
- Cheers, Thomas.
