If only some other smallish 68k Mac had a 128MB RAM ceiling, I'd definitely be using it. I've got an LCIII and a IIsi still around, but I've given/thrown away many others because they're just too limited to be useful to me anymore. I have a Q840AV (64 or 68 MB) I'm hoping to use, but it is by no means small. > The thread's lost to me but if you're using the right adapter > and it has the > FPU removed, then you should not have the problems you're > having, and should > not need any circulation of air. It does have the FPU, which is one of the big perks for using it at all. The SE/30 is my web server, running NetBSD. And until recently, NetBSD required an FPU because the software emulation wasn't very good. > I must admit I've had the best luck in acceleration on > SE/30's by using a > Daystar 040.

Though I've heard that NetBSD had some issues with 040 accelerators in 030 machines. Maybe that's been resolved. > Two bottlenecks occur in the case of acceleration. The hard > drive and the > RAM. Maybe go at it from these angles, first? I thought about that possibility, but think it unlikely. The drive is a 7200 rpm 9GB. The RAM is all 4MB and 16MB SIMMs, which probably means it is 80ns or better. I think it was just the 256kB-2MB SIMMs that came in the slower 100ns and 120ns speeds.
