Extreme Systems Vandal Accelerator Software?
Posted by: K55 on 2016-02-13 13:03:36
One of the mac Se's i'm working on has this accelerator. It's listed here: http://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/accel.shtml , but when I run it on SSW 7.0.1, I get a 'this software isn't made for this macintosh' :-/ . I'm pretty sure the card is working, but I cant test it without software.

Edit: It's extreme systems. Ugh bad branding :-x

Nevermind, I had to restart with the control panel program installed :V

I've got a 50MHz '030 in my Amiga, and it's pretty zippy, but not by as much as you'd think - I presume because it only has 1KB total L1 cache (512B instruction/512B data.) I don't know what's on this card, but my observation is that if you're not going to go to an '040, you really want some amount of L2 cache on the accelerator.
