Nice little upgrade, will probably increases the speed by about three times in benchmarks, bit less in real world use.

Do you have any photos? @Marsu might be interested.

Nice board - didn't expect it to have RAM. It will likely give you 4x speed over the stock SE. Its basically an SE/30 processor wise.

Ram sticks or bad or need to be cleaned, system says 512kb ram.

Yes, reseat the RAZm and check that the jumpers/resistors for the amount of RAM in the main board's dlots are set right.

Is Compact Virtual installed? In Control Panel?

Macworld March 1989 page 119 has an accelerator comparison that talks about that board.

Thanks, il check it out.

Edit: Seems like its a different dove upgrade for the SE/30. I have the SE Model m5011. That upgrade has a 68030 on it too.

It talks about the '030 version, but if you read further it talks about the '020 version, or at lists it in one of the charts. It's been a while since I read through it.
