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. Does anyone know if this works? I read "attempts to ground pin
one and feed in a new signal failed" in overclocking the Turbo
i040-33mhz board, but this didn't use a Speedy.
I had to lurk on ebay for quite a while to find one. Luckily, I wound
up with the complete package in original box. The Speedy attaches to
the CPU oscillator on the mobo, so I don't see how you could use it to
accelerate the 040 card itself...?
BTW, it easily ran my IIsi at 30 MHz+ (31.5 or 32.5 top speed, can't
remember which), but I didn't try using the serial ports. Does anyone
here have any direct experience (no hearsay, please) successfully using
serial ports on accelerated IIsi...?
