03.006 How does the SpeeDemon rate as an accelerator for II+ and IIe Apples?

         In terms of raw performance (once you arrange for cooling), SpeeDemon may
be the best of the 4MHz accelerators for early II's. I've never noticed any
compatibility problems and the approx. X3.5 speed increase puts real 'snap'
into your machine's response. (Besides, it's great for games like Elite!)

• prev: 03.005 I recently bought an "M-c-T SpeeDemon" board. It's dated 1984 and draws a small apple on the screen after power-up. What kind of cache RAM does it have? There's a place for jumpers near the top of the card. Is there a way to control this thing through software or hardware?

• next: 03.007 My SpeeDemon accelerator board seems to run hot in my II+. Is this normal? Should I add cooling?
