As if this has been hashed to death in the past, please email to me rather
than taking up net bandwidth.

I'm thinking about going the 'blessed' route to 68030-ness (the Apple
upgrade from Mac II to Mac IIx).  The list on this is $2,199 for just the
motherboard.  As I understand it, this is just the board swap where they
take (rip? :-) out your machines motherboard and put in a IIx motherboard
and then move the SIMMs on your original motherboard to the new one.

By the way, I am aware that the drive upgrade is $599 (and requires the IIx
motherboard).

What's the scoop on third-party boards?  How compatible are they for things
like A/UX, SIMM usage, SIMM speeds required, etc?

On a bit of a tangent: does anyone out there have an idea of what sorts of
speeds you'll need in your SIMMs to take complete advantage of a 25Mhz machine?
I've got this sinking feeling that you'll need 80ns or better and all these
100ns SIMMS will induce wait-states or some other undesirable effect(s)...

Thanks,
