Adapts a W65C816 processor to a 65C02-compatible socket while generating the missing clock and synchronization signals.

The board was out of stock on 2026-07-24. It adapts processor signals but does not provide an independent accelerator clock; the stated 14 MHz is a board capability, not a promise that an Apple IIc will run at 14 MHz. Confirm socket type, clearance, and host timing before installation.

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 Booster 1.x is superseded but its original-card schematic and GAL archive remain available.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.

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.

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.
