Extreme Systems impact acclerator card for LC
Posted by: AlpineRaven on 2016-09-04 07:20:49 Good morning, I have an Extreme Systems Impact accelerator card for LC which I am very keen to use in Macintosh Classic. I dont have the drivers for it, I tried downloading this file from; http://vintageapple.org/macdrivers/accel.shtml down to; Extreme Systems Impact and Extender v1.22 (29 k) Drivers for the Extreme Systems Impact and Extender 030 accelerator boards for the LC 1 and 2. Each time I try download Impact and Extender v1.22, Stuffit cannot open that file at all. (I was using Version 11 in OSX and 6 in classic) - its not recognised file. Thank you Cheers AP See attached picture of the card

Posted by: jhorvath911 on 2017-01-06 10:57:20 Any chance that anyone can get the original file to work? Just dropped a new hard drive in my color classic and also am not able to unstuff that file with any version I've tried.

Posted by: chrisrueckert on 2023-01-14 11:29:36 I have just received a CC with the accelerator card and will backup the system folder. Once that's done I'll post the files I suspect to enable the accelerator on Macintosh Garden.

So either Stuffit 5 or later (but not sitx), or wrapped in a mac binary or hqx or similar. Stuffit 4 and older files have a resource fork and get corrupted when you upload them. Shout if you need any advice, forgive me if this is all old news to you.
