Need IIci cache cards

5 Oct 2003

...
   My
indefatigable Macintosh IIci NetBSD server got defatigable and its cache
 card blew (diagnosis made by the fact that when the cache card was pulled,  
 OK, what exactly is a "Cache Card"?  I would guess that it's CPU cache on
a
 card of some sort?  Is this something limited to the IIci, or do other
 models in the II series use it? 
AFAIK it's specific to the IIci. It goes in the PDS slot and is 32K of L1
cache for the '030 (basically equivalent to the L1 that the '040 has built
in). The performance upgrade is only moderate, but definitely noticible, and
it's a cheap and almost painless way to get more juice out of a IIci.

Later releases of the IIci had the cache card included (it was an option on
earlier releases).
