Thoughts on the cyberstorm Mk II and III

The MKIII has UW SCSI built in so you need the INT2 mod and it does not overclock easily.

I have successfully overclocked the MKIII up to 80Mhz without any problems at all, the only limiting factor being that I did not have any oscillators greater then 80Mhz!! They would have to be one of the easiest accelerator cards to overclock...

And SCSI works fine too? I remember some reports that up to 65MHz it was fine but over that caused SCSI errors or something.  Well on the MKII most had a socket so it was way easy to overclock, just pop in a new 66MHz oscillator.  I also heard MKII's were able to go to 80MHz more often than any other accelerator ever made!!!

Yep, my SCSI has never had any problems with overclocking. I have run the whole board at 80mhz without any problems at all. I am quite positive I could have cracked the 100mhz mark except I didn't have any 100mhz oscillator. I have the latested e41j 060 cpu, which helps ;-)

I settled for 75Mhz as about 75mhz I had to drop the ram from 60ns to 70ns for it to boot without hanging at times. So a full 75Mhz 68060 is a good speed, so I am happy.
