AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026Booster 1.x and 2.0 Acceleratorsby ZigZagJoe and Juicy Crumb Systems

Runs a 68030 CPU and optional 68882 FPU at 47 MHz in SE/30 and socketed modular Macintosh configurations.

Juicy Crumb showed a $309 to $359 Add to cart path for Booster 2.0 on 2026-07-27. Choose the exact PDS or PGA-socket variant for the host. Booster 1.x is superseded but its original-card schematic and GAL archive remain available. PDS-card compatibility differs between generations, and System 7.5 or later can produce sound glitches on 1.x cards.

Sold outChecked Jul 27, 2026MacEffects Thunder PDS Acceleratorby MacEffects

Runs the Macintosh LC II or Color Classic with a 32 MHz 68030 processor and 68882 floating-point unit.

The MacEffects page said Sold out on 2026-07-27. MacEffects explicitly limits support to the Macintosh LC II and Color Classic: reports about the original LC conflict, and the seller did not test or support it.

Build itChecked Jul 27, 2026MicroMac Performer and Modern Clonesby MicroMac, Bolle, and MacEffects

Upgrades compact Macintosh computers with a 16 MHz 68030 and optional 68882 FPU through original vintage cards or modern recreations.

The open clone remains buildable, but MacEffects' assembled Macintosh SE variant was sold out on 2026-07-27. The original MicroMac page was last modified in 1998, so its order form and prices are archival rather than a current purchase path. Modern-clone operation has been tested in the Macintosh Plus and SE, but not in the Classic; no secure socket has been found for the Classic's PLCC CPU. Host-specific U7 and SJ2 settings are mandatory. GAL16V8-15 and PALCE16V8-15 parts are tested, while ATF16V8 and other speeds are not.

Combines an approximately 16 MHz 68030 and optional 68882 on a compact MicroMac Performer remix made for a Macintosh Plus clone.

Human review confirmed that the JCM Edition was in stock on 2026-07-24 and that JCM offers the CPU and FPU as a separate linked item. The open project and bare-PCB path remain available. Confirm the Edition's exact assembly state and mounting-clip contents before ordering. Installation requires access to the 68000, PLD choice is important, and some software may have distorted audio.

Build itChecked Jul 27, 2026Polyphloisboisterous '030by luRaichu

Adds a 16 MHz 68030 to a Macintosh Plus with a compact hobbyist-buildable board derived from the MicroMac Performer.

This build requires a PGA 68030, five programmed 16V8 devices, and soldering a socket on top of the Macintosh Plus 68000. The maker does not recommend the System 7.0 GemStart driver, reports garbled or intermittent audio, and warns builders to watch the first SIMM's clearance.
