It's a pity the pics don't reveal so much. All I can say is that
Daystar offered quite a range of upgrades/accelerators at the time
and that the control panel you can still download from AppleFritter
at http://www.applefritter.com/node/4686 covers the Turbo 040, Turbo
040i, Image 040, Quad 040, Value 040, Value 040i and FastCache
Quadra. DayStar Quad 040 Accelerator seems to have been the name of
this CDEV/Control Panel. The designation "Quad 040" seems redundant
if it wasn't meant for a speed upgrade for Quadras running at 25 or
32 MHz. Maybe the article in question is just that, I don't know. The
interesting suggestion by Chris that it could be sort of an AV
upgrade is erroneous IMHO as presumed DSPs alone don't make the
difference - where are the ports? Video in/out, RCA jacks for the
sound? And the DSP on the 840 AV mainboard here (AT&T 3210) doesn't
look very much like the chips on the board shown. I'm puzzled,
anyway, as I believed the DSPs were by TI. But I'm sure someone more
knowledgeable than me can clear this up.
Cheers, OM
