JackHammer. Fast and Wide SCSI. Once you've got a network and fast video and maybe a CPU upgrade, the limiting factor in the IIci is the disk access.
The JackHammer (or the SEIV by ?? Initio?) provides Fast & Wide SCSI in NuBus machines. That's as fast as it got for NuBus machines. If you can find an Acard 7720UW, then you can hook up modern fast IDE drives and really go. The SCSI drives of the day, while they had 20 MB/s F&W SCSI interfaces on the disks, didn't actually deliver much better than 6 MB/s from the platters. But at this late date, there are plenty of modern and even five or six-year-old drives whose platters will out-perform the electronic interface of F&W SCSI.
