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?
