- I have a Rocket 33 too and here are my experiences with it and MCL.
-
- With the Rocket 33 installed in a Mac II, MCL won't run at all.
- Everything else works, but not MCL.
-
- With the Rocket 33 installed in a Mac IIci, MCL run okay. However, we
- have had significant problems using the serial ports and TCP streams
- in MCL under this configuration. When reading from such streams MCL
- mysteriously hangs and the machine requires rebooting. We have no
- such problems with the same code running without the Rocket.
-
- Also, a known problem (specified in the Rocket documentation) is that
- sound doesn't work correctly from any application running on the
- Rocket.
-
- The Rocket is a fine product and sure makes my Mac II faster.
- However, be aware before trying to upgrade your MCL applications.
