Hey Everyone 👋

Me again, on this episode I show you how to build a micromac performer accelerator card for your Mac SE -- here we convert the Mac SE to a "Mac SE++" which has a 68030 processor with FPU and MMU

the "++" part is because is not a SE/30 as there is no way still to add more ram but with the new processor the machine indeed is quite more responsive and snappy :)

Hope you all enjoy it! :)

I love the naming scheme! I used the same naming scheme when I upgraded my LC III ++ to its limits, including overclocking the CPU and maxing out its ram! I also plan to eventually add the "Evil RAS mod" to it, and swapping the 4MB RAM chips on the board to 8MB for a total of 72MB of RAM in my LC III ++, which should make it the ultimate LC, save for a 475/476/605 in an LC III case

ha!, coincidentially enough I have a LC II case which I plan to install a LC475 motherboard in it to make a rogue LC II 😏 -- thanks for checking out the video! :D
