I didn't know Asante made one. That'd be cool to test out if you don't want too much for it. :)

I had a 68881 math coprocessor board on my IIci that helped Excel finish matrix calculations in less than a tenth of the time it normally took.

It also helped any program that used SANE (Standard Apple Numerics Environment) of which there were a few

Remember accidentally brushing against the programmer's NMI or the reset button a lot then duct taping cardboard over it so it wouldn't reset unless I really wanted to

one time fixed a crashing IIsi by just switching the ADB keyboard, guy didn't want to admit he spilled coffee in it which was causing it to transmit spurious keyboard entries

IIci is gathering dust somewhere in a storage unit but still worked AFAIK

Also had the 8-bit Radius PrecisionColor 8-24X, and a SuperMac 17" CRT which was all the style for playing A-10 Cuba in the day, its fun to drop a nuke while sitting on the tarmac and see how far the cockpit gets thrown

Still have my Digital Audio G4 533 MHz with a Sonnet 1 GHz G4 board, the last thing I did with it was add an IDE SSD from Transcend onto it via an Acard SATA interface. Still have the original spheroid speakers but the rubber on them seems to have rotted off. Sheepsaver on my rMBP still blows it away in terms of raw speed though.

Also in storage, a UMAX C500e, ran Windows 95 under VirtualPC pretty good for an older machine.

Maybe the 1.8 GHz because only the MP aware apps utilized the extra processor(s) in Mac OS 8/9

Only MP aware apps included Final Cut, After Effects, some media encoders, Cinema 4D could use the extra processor to any time savings

if you don't use any of those apps then the extra processor isn't worth the $$$

What happened to the Hotline server that one yospos guy was running? Maybe someone should set up a new one so we can hang out and discuss our favourite After Dark screensaver modules

I was just running MultiModule with Boris and Meadow. Kittens frolicking in a grassy field chasing a butterfly, scratching the side of the screen, cleaning their face, purring, meowing, and napping. I forgot how great this one was. It's approaching the cutest thing I've ever seen.

someone was selling an LC III on eBay recently, was very hard not to push "Buy Now"

I already have a Mac IIci at home and a Mac IIx at the office, don't need more old Macs

no matter how good a home they'd have with me

Last mumble before the thread dies, the RAD750 is a radiation hardened version of the same CPU in the old beige G3 Tower Mac and has been to a comet (Deep Impact,) landed on Mars (Curiosity Rover) and one is on it's way to Jupiter (Juno.)

Not bad for a 200 MHz version of a chip.
