" I have heard in circles that the Spectre GCR is faster than a 8MHz Mac

benchmarks for comparison. Thanxs."
No benchmarks here, but I can tell you that SuperClock is off by
about eight minutes after the Spectre has come on-line in a one hour
period. By being off, I mean that it is eight minutes too fast. I
wish that Dave could fix that, but it does impress MACers who wonder
why my clock is always running fast.
Secondly, a good demo which shows how much faster Spectre GCR is
than a real Mac is Aldus's FreeHand self-running demo. After one
minute, the Spectre is about four pages ahead of a real Mac plus
equipped comparably, i.e., memory, hard drive, etc.
Also, putting a Mac Plus and Spectre equipped ST will reveal that
the Spectre offers a snappier screen. No doubt about it, the Spectre
is just faster.
