Post by: mauidj on April 25, 2008, 11:41:07 PM

Does anyone know what the difference is between a Cyberstorm 68060/50 MKII and Mk3 68060/50?
Thanks.

Off the top of my head:

MK2 doesn't always have SCSI (it's an add-on)

MK3 has faster chipset access/UW SCSI controller built in

I'm sure others will chime in with more.

You can use a CVisionPPC with the mk3.

Many mahalos all!

I think you nailed the main ones.
I guess I was interested in performance more than anything and in that regard they are not too dissimilar.

I already have a SCSI board in my tower so I'm good to go with either.

So what are these puppies worth used?

i don't know any exact value, but it seems you can get the mkii cheaper than the mkiii

ebay has the following at the moment:
