If I get my hands on a 6500 power supply will it be a straight replacement for the 6200 or will some other adjustment's be needed ?. The p-ram batteries are the same. I don't think the power supply in the 6200 will power everything on the 6500 board (maybe it is the PCI slot, I don't recall), and I'm pretty sure that the power supply from a 6500 will not fit into the 6200 case. I *think* the solution for your box/board is a 6360 power supply. I've owned 100s of 6200/6300 machines, a few 6500s, and zero 6360s. According to MacTracker, the 6500 requires EDO ram. I've kinda lost the point in rodding this form factor up, apart from the fun of the exercise. Most likely, if you can get hold of a 6360 power supply, you could get the whole 6360, which would make the old 6200's remains kinda useless (and swapping out the power supply is, if memory serves, getting down to the very last dustbunny in the box). I guess the Max deal would be to use a 630 face plate on a 6360 box and power supply with a 6500/300 board and whatever the max ram that board can see, but I stopped with a 6320 with every possible slot and jack filled. It is a slow, serviceable computer (OS 8.6, netted to my LAN via Commslot ethernet card and online via Linksys router/SpeedStream modem) and a pretty good t.v. -- All the Best, R.A.

Re: [1st] Installing 6500 Logic board inside 6200
My Reply follows quote. On 07/06/2005 13:44 [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Hi There, I need some advice and help. I want to upgrade My old faithfully 6200, so I have obtained a 6500 Motherboard of ebay at a very good price. The number on the board is 820-0816c, this seems to make it a 225 Mhz variation am I correct ?. Not sure. The number on the board is not the part number used by Apple in their service parts database. Look for the Processor and nearby crystal oscillator. Should give a better guess. There were, I believe, 6 different logic boards for the machine. It has 1 x Comms, 1 x PCI, 1 x Cache, 2 x RAM slots. I was supplied with 1 x 16 Mb of RAM, I do not think this RAM will work with this board. In order to use it I need to install 2 x 64 Mb of basic RAM or more if it will identify more than 128 Mb is this possible would I need RAM slot doublers?. I will also need to install Cache RAM not sure what to look for here size or type ?. 128MB is the max, unfortunately. I believe the cache card is 512K. A PRAM battery should not be any problem I assume it is different than the 6200 again what do I look for. Same battery as the 6200. The square 4.5v thing with the pigtail. Will the power supply of the 6200 work with the 6500 if it does will it limit the use of the 6500 board ?. If I get my hands on a 6500 power supply will it be a straight replacement for the 6200 or will some other adjustment's be needed ?. Hmmm. Not sure. I know the board will slide right in (after swapping over the backplane) and the machine will boot up, but I seem to recall mention of possible issues with the power to the PCI interface. Not sure if the back plane from the 6200 will allow use of PCI cards. You may need one from a 5400 or 5500. Are there any other problems that any one could think of that I have over looked. Since the 6200 is a NUBUS based thing and the 6500 is PCI based, you will need a single slot PCI riser in order to use PCI cards. Such a riser was a part of the 6360. Can't seem to locate the part number just now. Thanks John Abraham UK. Have fun! Ken -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
