What kind of hardware hacking does this entail? I compared a 550 mobo to a PPC board once and noticed that the power supply connection bus was on the opposite side (or something like that). Dealing with a board, I think I can do; dealing with an individual component is something I'm going to wait on (probably til something dies in my SE or SE/30) Also, would a 580 mobo work? I saw they used IDE drives and had similiar specs in all other aspects. If these questions are too lengthy to answer on list, but you still feel like answering them, I'd appreciate it if you email me off list. Or, if there's a website that has this info (CC upgrade websites have a tendancy to scare me away when the first sentance reads something like "snip the anode leg of C 718 and solder a 10 M ohm resister between it and D 42"), I'd appreciate that info as well.
