- Just wondering whether anyone can share experiences about accelerating
- a Mac II. Of course there's the II->IIfx upgrade but my understanding
- is that for that cost one can just as well buy a new Mac, or a Rocket
- or the like. I'm thinking of getting a Daystar PowerCache and
- optionally an external floppy to read HD disks. (Such things are
- advertised as not requiring a SWIM chip upgrade.) Any comments?
-
- Also, can anyone tell me the difference between DayStar PowerCaches
- and PowerCards? There is an ad in MacWorld for a sale on the latter,
- 40MHz '030 for the price of the PCache 33MHz '030, so I'm wondering
- what the cache here is... Also, are there other brands of reasonably
- cheap but effective accelerators out there for my II I should know of?
-
- Thanks!
