Radius Rocket Overview The Radius Rocket was more than just another Macintosh accelerator -- it was essentially a separate Mac on a NuBus card. With Rocketshare, it was possible to put multiple Rockets in a Macintosh, each running its own copy of the OS and its own set of tasks, or sharing a distributed workload. Interesting tidbit: you can run a Radius Rocket in a Power Mac 7100 or 8100 (requires Rocketshare 1.3 or later).
