DayStar’s Turbo 040 For The Mac ntosh

Thank you for urchasing the DayStar Turbo 040.
You have urchased a erformance u grade
with unsur assed com atibility, reliability and
erformance.
The Turbo 040 substantially increases Macin
tosh system s eed and res onsiveness. Users
benefit through increased roductivity - com
lete more work in a day or s end the time
saved to im rove work quality.
There are two versions of the Turbo 040. The
standard Turbo 040 uses the Motorola 68040
CPU, which includes a built-in floating oint
unit (FPU) for high-s eed 3-D rendering, com
lex s readsheet recalcs, and scientific and sta
tistical a lications. The Turbo 040i uses the
Motorola 60LC040, which leaves out the FPU.
Throughout this manual, we will sim ly refer
to both models as the Turbo 040.
The Turbo 040 has a 128K high s eed Static
RAM cache that rovides data at zero wait-
states. This allows the CPU to o erate at eak
erformance.
Included with the Turbo 040 is D ayStar’s
PowerMath, a owerful software utility that
boosts the erformance of math-intensive
tasks which d o n ’t use the math chi directly.
PowerMath tra s a lication calls to A le’s
Standard A le Numeric Environment (SANE)
routines and diverts them to the built-in math
routines of the 68040. This greatly increases
erformance over that of SANE without com
romising accuracy, a feature unique to
DayStar’s software.
