6. Something else

Get your 1240 upgraded to an 80MHz 1260. If it is an Apollo get a second SIMM socket too. Will cost far less than $300 and it will make it fly. Plus it opens a world of 68060 only games & demos.

Get the SCSI module for your 1240 and an SCSI->IDE adapter ($30) this will unload the CPU for disk activity and make it a whole heap faster.

If you don't already use SFS switch to it or buy PFS3 either one will make hard disk access MUCH faster than standard FFS.

My 040 cannot be easily upgraded It is a Macrosystem Falcon 1240
You never found out how to upgrade it?

By the way i have it running at 41.5mhz
Pales into insignificance next to even a 50MHz 060!
