Joe, I think you'd have a problem there. The Colour Classic is a 16Mhz 68030 machine (the CC II is 33Mhz). IIRC, the CC II still isn't quite as good as the SE/30 (a truely kick ass little machine).

Larry, I'm afraid you're wrong there....the CC II was clocked at 33mhz and had a true 32 bit data path while the CC was based on a 16 bit data path, the same as the LC series, and was clocked at 16 mhz. All were based on the 68030. The 16bit data path is what crippled the CC so badly, not the 16mhz clock. It's said that it only had roughly 60-70 % of the speed of the SE/30.

Oops, you've got me on the SE/30, that's what I get for going from memory on a machine I've not used in a couple years. However, the Colour Classic II was a 33Mhz machine, but it was only sold in Asia. Zane -- | Zane H.

On Sun, 3 Dec 2000, Lawrence Walker wrote: You're both right. Zane was talking about the Color Classic II, which was supposedly never marketd in the US. It used, in fact, a 68030 running at 33 MHz. The monochrome Classic II uses the same CPU, but clocked at 16 MHz. Where the Classic II and Color Classic fall down in comparison to the SE/30, though, is in memory capacity. The former two each support only 10 MB of RAM. The SE/30 supports up to 128 MB, assuming you can find the unobtainable 16 MB SIMMs to fit. ok r.
