I've got an SE 4mb/Dual 800k drives. It came with a SuperMAC accelerator, a 16 MHz 68000 and room for an FPU ( I think) I can't find any info on google about it. Anyone here ever hear of it?Thanks Peter Real Men Use 68k |

Wow! I had one of those in my first Mac, a 4-meg Mac Plus! That must've been 7 or 8 years ago... Trouble is, I never got it to work, since it was only for the SE's... or at least, that's what I heard.
Anyway, you're the first other person I've ever heard of that actually has/had one!

A PLUS?!?. That accelerator plugs into the SE PDS. I have no idea how you'd get it to work in a Plus. Anyways, yeah, if you'd like more info, lemme know. We'll set something up. The Czar Real Men Use 68k |

Hmmm, maybe we don't have the same thing after all... IIRC, mine had a super-wide cable that kinda clamped over the 68000 CPU, contacting each soldered pin along each side. I'm pretty sure the little print on one of the chips said "SuperMac", though. The actual unit was pretty strange looking, with two cards connected together with a PDS-slot-look-alike, kinda sandwiched together, and inside a metal bracket. Does yours look anything like that?

Nope. It plugs into the PDS. It's a flat board, about 3/4 the size of the MLB of the SE.Real Men Use 68k |

The Killy Clip was the original PDS slot and is functionally equivalent to the SE PDS. This is the first I've heard of a cabled clip for the 68000, but it makes sense for adapting an SE card to a Plus.jt  ™.
