What 3rd party accelerators are compatible with A/UX?
For the most part, all DayStar Digital accelerators are compatible with A/UX 3.0 even if their controlling CDEVs don’t work under A/UX (the accelerator must be enabled with the CDEV before booting A/UX). However, their 040 accelerators do not work under A/UX. In fact, except for Apple’s own Quadra 700 Logic Board Upgrade, there are no 040 accelerators that work (i.e. don’t crash) under A/UX. There has been at least 1 report of the DayStar-accelerated Mac II not working under 3.0.2… it’s possible that 3.0.2 is more sensitive to timing than 3.0 was… If in doubt, be sure that you can return the accelerator if you can’t run it under A/UX. According to Daystar Digital, the DayStar QuadraCache is not compatible with A/UX. DayStar is working on a fix… Nonetheless, there are a number of people (including people at Apple) who are using these cache cards with no problems at all and with very nice (~25%) performance boosts. [INS: This is kinda skimpy, but I’d thought I’d start it up.
