Orchid MacSprint II

[JRL]

So I picked up a Macintosh II from my friend that has this neat upgrade in it. It's basically a cache upgrade for the II that is supposed to bring the performance up to an IIx.

Anybody have a lead on the software (control panel) for it? Unfortunately I can only find mentions of the upgrade in various vintage MacWorld/MacUser issues and nothing else. The II is dead right now (and never had a HD for the duration of time my friend owned it), waiting on new PRAM batteries currently.

Happy to say that Daxeria of Macintosh Garden helped me find the MacSprint control panel! 

The card gives a noticeable speed boost, but of course not as great as a proper accelerator.

This II came with a FH 5.25 sled so I picked up a proper HD to ensure it didn't go to waste
