Actually, as soon as the 8100's rolled out, the upgrade (motherboard
swap) was made available. But as the 8100/80 wasn't good for high throughput,
it wasn't useful. The throughout was improved on the 8100/100 and 110, btu
still didn't approach the solid HD throughput of the 840av- the fastest NuBus
Macintosh ever built. Not the fastest processor, but the fastest at throuwing
data across the bus, and thusly, the best data rates, and thusly, the best
looking video.
Your choice was the best choice possible for, like, three years.
I did my research after the 8100/110 came out. I bought an 840av just
after they were discontinued. A 32MB chip cost me $1200. It is lamentable how
expensive things were then. But it proved to be the best host for the
VideoVision Telecast.
