Interware Booster 040 Upgrade?
Posted by: patatas on 2017-05-02 23:03:21
Just took hold of the Interware Booster 040 33Mhz for my Mac IIci and was wondering is someone has upgraded this to a 40Mhz or even 68060

It'll likely clock to 40 with minimal issues, especially as there was a 40mhz version.

An 060 won't work in any Mac regardless, without modifying Apple's ROM (no one has made any progress to this end even after 20+ years)

What defor said.  It'll likely run at 40MHz.  If it doesn't, you can stick a fan from a 486 on it.  Keep it cool.

Just saw a video of the accelerator.  Fan won't fit.  Still worth a try.
