Yeah but the way I understand it is the card's software isn't 32 bit capable,
meaning you won't be able to run it under system 7.6 when it's out in January.
I bet you IIe runs software as fast on my 840AV as your card can run it, and 
I bet it really cranks on say an 8500/180.

Hmm if you need a //e card to make your Mac useful, you must have about as much
software for it as the new Mac owners in '85 I talked to:

"What all software ya got for that?"
"Oh Macwrite, Macpaint"
"Uh, OK"
