The S900 logic board was very picky about a lot of things -- bus speed being one of them. One of UCC's own processor configurations would default the bus to something like 51.8MHz, and that was just about the upper limit. Many of our own configurations ended up running the bus at somewhere between 45 and 50MHz. Our lead hardware engineer once explained that most third-party processor upgrade vendors just didn't get the significance of the bus-speed multiplier setting (Apple only shared it with actual Mac OS Licensees, like UCC, IBM, Motorola, Power Computing) nor how critical it was to smooth operation of UCC's logic boards So, bottom line, even in the original manufacturing & lab settings at UCC, we had trouble running an S900 at >50MHz, too. -KB http://home.earthlink.net/~supermac_insider/ -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
