I thought the answer might have general interest ...to beginners ;o) at least.
Lance - I'm using an LC575 board, with the board mod to enable onboard 512x384 display (far easier then the 640x480 mod IMHO). I picked up an Apple PPC Upgrade card on eBay (I've been keeping my eyes open ever since for a reasonably priced second). eBay's pretty hit-and-miss on these sorts of things ...but I don't think there's any alternative that's any better. It was entirely easy to pull the 68040, put that in the PPC Upgrade card (it has a blank socket for it), and then put the PPC Upgrade card in the now vacant CPU slot ...and slide the board back in the CC. At first boot, the CC boots as a stock 575 (well, it boots to whatever it was booting to, off the '040). You enable the Apple PPC Upgrade control panel, and when you reboot, you hear the sing-song of the PPC boot, and that's it.
