Does anyone out there have > any comments on the Marathon Racer? I'm looking for pros and > cons. I recently purchased a Dove Marathon 030-16 for my Plus. The friendly folk at Dove are aware of the problem and I was informed this week that they are shipping an init to take care of the problem. Judging by the concern and attention shown by their technical support group, I have no doubt that this will fix the problem. Considering the cost of the upgrade, and the results obtained, I would still consider the 030 worthwhile without the sound system. I have a MacRecorder, and over a meg of resource sounds, and yes, it's annoying that the sound system is trashed. However, the other consideration is the speed and horsepower gained, and the cost of an SE/30.
