I understand what the card is for... I have the entire upgrade kit... Full version of A/UX 3.01 with installer disks (1 install floppy and 2 CDs - 1 for database environment & 1 for file/print server environment). I wish I had 3.1, but ah well.
This was, perhaps, nothing more than an intellectual curiosity... I had previously posed the question about the card working under the Mac OS as opposed to A/UX. I felt the need to test it myself (it seemed the cache, at least, should work). I am surprised by the minimal increase in performance, but the real world increase might be more significant.
