I called Microtech today regarding their 68020 accelerator for the Mac+. It seems that this is only a 8MHz processor. I was told that a faster processor would be a waste of money because the bus only runs at 8MHz on the Plus. Supposedly this board gives you a 30% - 50% increase in speed. I question whether this is a worthwhile improvement for $599. Of course, a MacII costs a bit more than that (:-)!!), but isn't there a four-fold increase in speed between that Mac+ and the MacII? -- Dave Thompson uucp: dlt@csuna.csun.edu Computer Center Cal State University, Northridge phone: (818) 885-2790 18111 Nordhoff Street, Northridge, CA 91330
