Huh?
I have 8500/120, what is the name called for this
logicboard (silkscreened: VAL-4) and what CPU card capable of instead
of 120?
I was trying to poke some extra performance from that 8500 but the
cpu 120 card don't like 150MHz. Always bongs and sometimes as far as
smiling mac or beginning of OS boot but every time in any of this
case always froze.
Put card's oscillator back to 40MHz, all well.
Aqua sent me a G3 333 zif cpu to fix and to own for small payment and
find xlr8 zif card and try that cpu in 8500.
Is there better logicboard for 8500 case, preferably w/ IDE
controller built on for example?
Cheers,
Wizard
