- I'd be very interested in hearing reports from the field too. FYI,
- the ad lists prices for the Speedster:
-
- 25MHz 33MHz 40MHz
- No FPU $799 $899 ---
- With FPU $1099 $1299 $1499
-
- It also says "Available for the SE/30, Mac II, IIx, IIcx, IIsi, IIci,
- LC, LC II, Performa 400 and 600." I wonder why the IIvx isn't listed
- there? You'd think it would be compatible since the P600 is, but I
- wonder...
-
- An important consideration with the IIvx, also, is that if you get one
- of the accelerators without an FPU, your system won't use the FPU
- already on the motherboard. (The IIci doesn't suffer from this
- limitation.)
