You can upgrade these cards to faster speeds with a new plug in oscilator(sp?). They also have two sockets so you can buy it with a 68020 and upgrade it to a 68030 later. I just did this in my Mac+, it works in an SE as well. To my knowledge this is the only card that offers this upgradablity. I'm able to run Virtual in an old Mac+! It has extended the life of my machine thru system 7.0. If you are interested in more info I sell these things on the side at discounts that are hard to beat. I purchased my first one to speed up my BBS, it made my mac+ run faster than my MacII, I really love it and the support from TSI has been the best I have ever gotten from a Mac vendor. Tech support at this company knows what makes the board tick, how it is built and haw far you can push it. If you want to know more send me Email. Sorry for the commercial but I love this thing! It is also the only solution that lets a Mac+ or 512KE owner upgrade for 7.0 that I know of. Bob Murrow SYSOP MacDaze and MacDazeII BBS 408-253-3926 and 408-252-6801
