It sure does... as long as it's not too graphical or use too much disk
access. Having a //gs makes the 3.5" drive less of an inconvenience and
having some external 5.25" drives that it can boot from makes the machine
fairly "normal" (compared to a ][ or //e) - except faster.

...and you're just a crystal oscillator substitution away from
an 8MHz //c++. ;-)

Mike, ISTR that you had a web page on this subject?  Or, am I imagining that?


I not sure if Mike did or not but, I had a full write up on A2Central
over the REV of boards and chips that were best for the acceleration.

Although I brought up the possibility several years ago, James did
the excellent experimental work and wrote it up for everyone.

His site is a great guide to hyper-accelerating your //c+.
