Actually, the ELC is not faster than the SS2, the ELC processor does not have as many context registers as a SS2 (maybe some other differences) so the SS2 will generally "feel" faster. The ELC is a monochrome only all in one box you are very very lucky if: a) you have one with a working nvram after all this time b) you have one with a working screen - the ELC had a few problems with the video components aging that would lead to the screen fading or (if I recall correctly) losing vertical sync. If you are hardware inclined you could just rip the processor board out of the back (hidden under the clip off grille at the back of the machine on the ELC) and use the board for something, it's not exactly the smallest SBC you can get but everything is on the board. The form factor is a standard 6U board so if you have a 6U card cage you could possibly mount it ... or just mount it in some other case. -- Brett Lymn
