A little accelerator card for the q700

Was going to post this a few days ago, but with the 'upgrade' I just now remembered.

Got if off epay for $25.  Adds 128k of L2 to the Quadra 700, 900 & 950 if the blurb on the back can be believed.  The seller taped the shipping label DIRECTLY to the box.  Thankfully I was able to remove it with minimal damage.  I'm not really a box collector, but I won't turn one down!  Even came with receipts!  Not pictured is the utility disk.  I'll make an image of it if anyone wants/needs it.

It's likely to go into the Q700 I have.  All I need now is to retrobrite it and with the 6 hours of sunlight right now, it's likely to be a project for the summer.   Yes I know there are faster accelerators, but honestly, If I wanted a ppc 601, i'd just build a ppc 601.

 
What a sweet find! I have always wanted one for my Q700/650/950, but I have had more luck getting 601 cards. Definitely worth benchmarking when the Q700 re-do is done.
