All this talk about Virtual has gotten me interested. In a recent message
someone suggested that instead of adding the 68020 + 68851 version of
virtual one could, for approximately the same price, get a Dove MaraThon 030
accelerator and the 68030 version of Virtual.
Now a few questions:
1. Is the MaraThon 030 + 030 version of Virtual compatible?
2. What's the "best" version of the MaraThon? They come in 20Mhz, 25Mhz,
and 30 Mhz versions. Apparently, they use the motherboard memory
w/o a fast on-board cache memory, so the NuBus 10Mhz clock rate is
a big limitation. In particular, has anyone run any standard
benchmark programs (e.g. dhrystone). [Given the NuBus, is the 20Mhz
version at all faster than the Mac II's 020?]
3. What's the phone number of the company selling Virtual?
