I am considering a cache card for my Mac II. There seem to be
two options:

	- Marathon Racer by Dove, $149.- (MacConnection).

	- MacSprint II by Orchid, $219.- (MacLand).

Both are supposed to increase performance by at least 20%. The Orchid
product explicitly claims compatibility with System 7.0. My questions
are:

	- Do you have experience (good or bad) with any of these?

	- Are the above quotes the best prices available?

	- Is getting a cache card a good idea in the first place?

Thanks for your help.

Edgar
