This is absolutely *disturbing*.
It`s running on a 040
there but I belive that there is a hack
in one of the apple emulator for that amiga that would let you
runne 8.1 on a 030.

The IIci is not an '040.

Umm, yea... That is odd.
Maybe the machine has an 040 accellerator cpu installed. I don't even
know if there IS an 040 upgrade for the IIci but that is the only thing I
can think it might be except that maybe this software product provides a
layer to fool macos into thinking it HAS got an 040?
Kinda like those software 'math coprocessors' that used to allow you to
run autocad on a machine without a 287/387 by providing the function in
software. It actually did speed floating point up quite a bit, but not
nearly what the hardware FPU would have.
I hate it when manufacturers abandon legacy hardware. My Sunbox can't run
any Solaris above 2.4(sunos5.4) cause Sun doesn't love me anymore
(screwing up eyes to fight tears).

If anybody'd bothered to read the rest of the site, he'd know that the
machine the screenshot was taken from has an '040 accelerator installed.
Criminy.
ok
r.

That's *exactly* what it does :-) it's just a hack to make the Installer
happy. Naughty, huh?
