Another IIci question

Okay, this question concerns accelerators and cache cards. I've been reading about accelerator cards for the IIci and it sounds like the Daystar Turbo 601 would be a good match. I'm seeing NuBus and PDS cards. I understand that these are different type slots. Is one type preferable over the ot

Yet another IIci question

Okay, while we're all out happily hunting accelerator cards. I take it that the best way to add a modem to a IIci is to get an external serial port type. Am I right or am I missing something? I do know that externals are generally more stable, but have used internals in the PCs I've owned.

Yet Another IIci question

I have a Daystar PowerCache 030 upgrade in my SE/30 that plugs into the CPU socket complete with cache and FPU. Will it work in a IIci, if so is it worth pulling out of my SE/30 (which hardly gets used) and whacking it in my soon-to-be-had IIci? I kinda thought seeing as they were both 1989 vi
