I have LC III ('030 25MHz, cachless), knew it's
performance
differences except I have no idea about IIci. Most of things is very
similar except for FPU and slots, cache support but how efficient
IIci go? What areas IIci is better at, video? Overall performance?
IIci major points, 3 open nubus slots, has a fpu (runs NetBSD).
It weighs about 15 lbs, 10 less than a IIx, builtin video frees up a slot.
It has 8 30 pin simm slots with no special requirements (not like IIx with
the pal on 4 mb and up).
Just a nice little machine with just enough HP (25 Mhz 68030) to handle
most simple tasks on a network. When you start thinking about what you need
for a cheap little router, the IIci is perfect.
Easy step up is the Q700, mostly the same but with more juice (68040 25 mhz).
