The Daystar CPU upgrades for the IIci are better and easier to find. The fastest 68k you can get is the 50Mhz 030 Powercache, especially if you get it with the math co-processor. Daystar also made the Turbo 040, the fastest one of which performs on a level with the 50Mhz 030 and allows the IIci to run software an 030 can't. I dunno if the Turbo 040 can boot from an HFS+ drive with Mac OS 8.1. Harder to find is the 66 or 100 Mhz Turbo 601. (Especially the 100.) I had a IIci with a 50Mhz 030 and one with a 66Mhz 601. Overall I found it to work better with the 030. Even though the Turbo 601 ROM has SCSI Manager 4.3 built in, any software that requires that refuses to recognize it is there. Lasdt time I entered the word nubus into the main search on eBay, there were several auctions for Asante 10/100 ethernet cards, all selling very cheap or not getting any bids. I got one for a paltry $5 plus shipping. They're factory refurbished ones in shrinkwrapped boxes. ===== It's total Fandemonium! http://www.fandemonium.org __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
