    Interware Booster Clone 30-SE50F Accelerator

    Interesting. The speedometer version I use is 4.01 verified by version strings in ResEdit, so not sure where the disconnect is as it absolutely came from either MG or MR. Possibly one of their files is misnamed. MacBench is fine for certain uses. CPU benchmark is OK as an application-type...

The Interware design does not implement /STERM in the SE/30 form, so the Xceed cards (and any other) which require synchronous bus cycles will not work at all. There are some additional notes in this thread. I have moved the logic into a...
