In the beginning you could feel it, but it quickly fades into the background.
Which is not to say the improvement isn't real.

Haven't tried either. I've never needed to use either. However, it comes with
its own CDEV which can turn it on or off on the fly.

I have noted no unusual problems on any of the machines with this board.

Fails miserably with A/UX, but as of earlier this month it works fine. Owners
of earlier boards can get a replacement at no cost.

BTW, the warrantee on this product is FOUR YEARS. It's one of the relatively
few products that does exactly what it claims to do. If I had a Mac II not
running A/UX I'd buy one. And in fact, I bought several.
