The IIc Plus is the fastest machine without modification. Yes, that

Just thought I'd point out that the IIc Plus can be modified just by
changing a crystal oscillator ($2.00) to run at 8MHz, even faster than
most *accelerated* IIgs's.  ;-)


I thought most accelerated IIgses were 8 MHz or faster. There was a 7
MHz version of the Zip GS, but I'm less familiar with the TransWarp.

No, I think that the stock versions were all less than 8MHz, and the
non-stock versions are still, I'd bet, in the minority.

Of course, with the thinning of the flock, the percentage of owners
who have modified their cards is much higher now than when they were
being sold.  Put another way, when a user buys a card today, they
often do it with the intention of modifying it.
