Keywords: Nubus architecture Message-ID: <952@uokmax.UUCP> Date: 9 Dec 87 19:34:34 GMT References: MacUser? Reply-To: jlperkin@uokmax.UUCP () Organization: University of Oklahoma, Norman Lines: 10 I have been told about an article appearing in MacUser a few months ago stating that there was a problem with the Nubus architecture. The Nubus is supposed to enable a single card to take over control of the MacII. According to thissource the rom placement makes this impossible because of the downward compatibility of the Mac II with the SE. Therefore it would take a complete motherboardchange to correct the problem. In other words, big bucks! It also means you can't even fathom doing parallel processing until this is fixed. But what I am here to find out is if this article is right. I haven't found it yet and no other magazines have mentioned it. Plus no one here has mentioned it. I would appreciate some input into this subject, as I am contemplating bying a MacII. J. Les Perkins -just an ignorant student trying to correct that-
