Fastest All-in-one for Ethernet and IIe card

[oz390gta]

What is the fastest all-in-one that I can install an Ethernet card and IIe compatibility card in? I think it an LC575 but just wanted to be sure before I start acquiring the bits. I currently have a Color Classic, which can only use an ethernet or IIe card, and a 5500 that doesn't have an LC PDS slot.

Yep, you're right its the LC575 - no PowerPC Mac can boot into 24 bit mode, meaning that they can't use the IIe card, and neither can the LC/Performa 580 (which runs at the same speed as the 575 anyway, it just has a crappier display, vampire video, an IDE HDD, an extra RAM slot, and a Video System slot). Any AIO with an expansion slot can take an ethernet card, however.

There is also a speedup path documented to get the 575 running at 40 MHz and more. In combination with a full 68040 and big memory module the machine will make a pretty fast 68kM. To run the IIe card you will need to boot in 24 bit mode, however.

And the LC575 motherboard is one of the simplest upgrades for a Color Classic
