Description from the seller
Rare Dove MaraThon 030 Accelerator (20MHz) for Apple Macintosh SE - P/N 81082
Description:
Up for auction: An authentic piece of high-end computer history from the late 1980s. The Dove Computer Corp. MaraThon 030 is one of the most iconic accelerator cards for the original Apple Macintosh SE.
This card replaces the standard 8MHz 68000 processor with a significantly more powerful Motorola XC68030RC20B running at 20MHz. This makes the Mac SE suitable for heavier software and newer versions of the classic Mac OS (such as System 7).
Important condition note for the "Killy Clip":
The card is mounted to the motherboard CPU with a translucent plastic connector, the infamous "Killy Clip".
Structural condition: Very good. The plastic is not brittle and shows no cracks or age-related wear (no "plastic rot"). This is rare for this type of hardware.
Contacts: Note: some of the metal contact pins in the clip are not intact (see detail photo). For a handy collector or restorer, this is probably repairable with precision tools.
Status: The card has not been tested and is sold "as-is" for restoration or as a collector's item.
Technical Specifications:
Model: Dove MaraThon 030 Upgrade \ Mac SE
Part Number: P/N 81082
Processor: Motorola XC68030 (20MHz Golden Top)
Socket U9: Equipped with a free position for an optional 68881/68882 FPU (Floating Point Unit).
Production: Made in USA, Dove Computer Corp.
