I'm considering the purchase of a 68030 upgrade for my original Mac II
and have my eyes on a Dove Marathon 68030 board which runs at 32 mHz.
The price seems reasonable (approx $529) and much less than other,
seemingly similar boards. I was wondering if others who have purchased
such boards could write me with their opinions as to whether the above-
mentioned board is the "best" on the market today for the price/performance.
Thoughts regarding other options cheerfully accepted. Also, from a programming
aspect, what does the System software (i.e. SysEnvirons/Gestalt) think the
machine is?
Please email me; I'll summarize to the net if needed.
