<< Unfortunately, you would need to convince the 6100 it was a 7100 or vice versa, before the OS loads. For that purpose, Wish I were won't work, unfortunately. It makes the experiment much more difficult.>> Yeah, hardware not software. I should have know that would be too easy. <<I think a bit of your last sentence was eaten by the ether monsters.>> Yeah again, granted given my verbal short comings and my typo's I did have a little extra help from the ether monster on my garbled post.>> For now I am going to pursue the SIMMverter approach (hope I spelled it right this time) for this project. Maybe someone will buy me a Dremel tool for Christmas so I can hack up a 6100 top cover to accommodate the extra height needed. ;-). <<Interestingly, you can take either of the later ROM revisions and install them in the earlier 28F2 machines (if you solder) and they work fine.>> Soldering is a fine art. I need much assistance in that area. I can arc weld, use a torch to weld, braze or cut through a metal structure but using that damn little soldering iron on those delicate electrical components scares me to no end. I am open to learning this. All the best --glen -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
