Dove sells an accelerator board for the MacIIx called the
MaraThon 030/X that uses a 32 MHz 68030.  It also has a 256K data cache
and a socket for the 68882 FPU.  I suppose a 32 MHz 68882 is required.

I'd like to know if anyone has used one of these cards, and get some
idea of the performance increase achieved.  At a cost of $999, it seems
fairly reasonable--if it works well.

Thanks.
