Different machine. The PowerCenter is a 7200 series clone. > 2. I normally run my 6100 under OS 7.6.1 with the 300 MHz card, but I have > an OS 9.1 partition on an external hard disc and occasionally start up with > OS 9.1.

The earlier reply to my query sees to have been what I needed. The CPU seems to be running just great. I'll install the drivers later when I have more time to hack on the thing. -- Mike N -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
