Yup, that was Daystar. Prior to the IIci all of Daystar's upgrades were custom designed for each model of Macintosh. At minimum they required removal of the CPU. Some also required removing the FPU if installed and IIRC the Mac II upgrade required removal of the MMU or PMMU chip because the 030 had the PMMU built in. After the release of the IIci, Daystar made all their upgrades for 68000, 020 and 030 Macs fit the IIci type slot and for any Mac that wasn't a IIci, IIvi, IIvx or Performa 600 it required an adapter which plugged in the same as their previous single model upgrades. Some of those adapters are extremely rare. Just try and find an 030 PowerCache adapter for the LCII. IIsi adapters are pretty common. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
