Accelerator II From Daystar Speeds up the Macintosh II
BY LAURIE FLYNN
Daystar Digital demonstrated recently a 33-MHz accelerator board for the Mac II that Daystar claims doubles the speed of the computer.
The product, based on the Motorola 68030 and called the 33/030 Accelerator II, connects to the motherboard of the Mac II and uses the original 68020 socket rather than an add-in slot, according to Andrew Lewis, president of Daystar Digital.
When installed as a Nubus card, the accelerator is hampered by the 10-MHz speed of the slot, he said.
The 33/030 product features a memory-caching process that used 32K of 25-nanosecond static memory.
The 33/030 will be available in December for $ 6,000. An optional 68881 floating-point processor will cost $ 1,000. The card also supports the Mac's original 68881 coprocessor.
