MicroMac Speedy

2001-09-10 Thread JakeCatfox
Does anyone know where I can find a MicroMac speedy? MicroMac wants $50 for one, but that's absurd! I can get an ACCELERATOR that will yield better beformance for that price. I reason I want one is that I want to try overclocking the 040 on my Turbo 040 card from 40mhz to 48mhz or higher.

if you give me your address, you can get mine (for metal-housing oscillators). I bought it about three months back for my IIfx, however, for a lasting clock-up, I didn't find this method too convincing. Steff -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electro

I hear around certain speeds disk access to 800k floppies stops working entirely. Later, all disk access is killed off. Dunno about serial ports though. I would chip the 040 card by hooking the Speedy to the oscillator on the card. Hopefully that will do the trick. In a message dated 9/10/01

Hi, I have a MicroMac speedy that I'm trying to use in a IIsi. Unfortunately, after working with it for a little while, both clips fell apart, and one just broke in half. I'm left with two wires coming from the Speedy card. I've tried to connect these to the pins on the
