The PaintBoard 8Li 1.1 Control Panel is used to turn acceleration on and off for the PaintBoard 8Li in Macintosh computers (Mac II through Quadra and Centris models.)
The PaintBoard 8Li 1.1 Control Panel is being released to fix a System 7.5 compatibility issue. The PaintBoard 8Li 1.0 Control Panel causes multiple system beeps during System 7.5 boot while the control panel is loading and text corruption in menus and title bars. System 7.5 users must also use the RasterOps Driver Patch 1.0 (also included on the disk.)
The PaintBoard 8Li 1.1 Control Panel is also compatible with Systems 7.1. and 7.1.2.
The Control Panel will not load on Power Macintoshes. Therefore, no acceleration will occur on those Systems although the PaintBoard 8Li will operate with the RasterOps Driver Patch. (See ReadMe in Driver Patch Folder for details)
