68kMLA Supporter EvilCapitalist Posted January 1, 2018 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Looks similar to the AE TransWarp '030 I've got installed in my SE: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/31195-the-upgrades-train-keeps-on-rolling/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trash80toHP_Mini Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 THX, oP! I hadn't had that come up in searches there, interesting little thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
werdna Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Micromac's website still has an order form... with a submit button... and the site is up and running...... are they still in business? I'd expect them not to be since, according to the page, it hasn't been updated in twenty years... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olePigeon Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 No, Micromac is no longer in business. I've actually talked to the now current owner of the IP of the former company. He just keeps the website up for posterity. All the "good stuff" has been sold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trash80toHP_Mini Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Sounds like a great guy! Does he still have and might he be willing to let us use the GAL formulas and ASIC designs for his accelerator lineup for retro-computing hobby use? That would be frickin' AWESOME!

joeysrour16 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 just found one of these micromac multispeed 68030 upgrade cards in my mac se! cant find much info on them or their value Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olePigeon Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 @joeysrour16 Scroll up in the thread, I linked the old product page. It has information on the accelerator. Like many accelerators, they tend to be a bit pricey. I'd wager a couple hundred eBay bucks. Best to do an Advanced search on eBay for Sold listings, and look for 68030 Macintosh upgrade.

bibilit Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Quote Looks similar to the AE TransWarp '030 I've got installed in my SE: What is the upper right connector for ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
68kMLA Supporter EvilCapitalist Posted February 22 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted February 22 I don't know for certain. Both the machine and accelerator went to new homes some time ago when I was "focusing" my collection so I didn't spend too much time digging. I want to say it was for a video card but I can't remember where I read that. The accelerator came out so close to the end of Applied Engineering's life that it's difficult to find much information on it since searching for AE TransWarp just brings up acres of information on the //e version.

Bolle Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 That connector is for a Radius video card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
