I am typing this from a Mac+ with a 68030 at 20Mhz! Gemini makes it and I sell
them as a sideline Ed. Virtual is available but I am not running it, it slows
things down and I bought this to be FAST. It is, I use it as a BBS machine to
process FidoMail which is like UseNet. I process over 30,000 pieces of mail
a week on my machine. It as currently configured running at 2 wait states is
about 33% faster tham my MacII doing the same task. Additionally the Gemini
cards have a FAST SCSI chip on them that replaces the on in the Mac+_ and It
will run as much as 500% faster than the MacII's. It takes a REAL FAST hard
drive to do this. I currently run at just shy of 4X MacII SCSI speeds. The
reason for 2 wait states is the 120nsec RAM I have, it takes 60Nsec to get to
0 wait states on the RAM. If your interested in buying one I sell 'em cheap.
Im a developer and run a small mail order side bussiness in addition to my
real job...smile.
