QuickSANE is a system extension that can redirect SANE (Standard Apple
Numerics Environment) operations to the 68882 floating point
coprocessor on machines like the SE/30. This can drastically improve
certain mathematical operations, thereby improving the overall
execution speed of applications relying on these operations. In
general benchmarking via Speedometer 3.06 on an SE/30 the overall
performance roughly doubled (see additional screenshots supplied).
You need to extract the attached disk image and create an actual real
floppy disk from that image. Boot your Mac (with the newly created
disk, or not - doesn't matter), then copy the QuickSANE control panel
over to your main System Folder (hard drive, BlueSCSI, etc). Then
reboot. During boot you'll be asked to insert the floppy, and also
register with a serial number - see attached disk photo for that. Once
the first boot is done and you've registered QuickSANE you won't need
the floppy again. The registration process does NOT alter the floppy.
FYI the original disk shipped with write-protect enabled.
