Hi Got this info below from another LEM side:
DG writes: I use to own a 6200, and I use to be the Apple on-site, in warranty tech in Jacksonville, FL (you know, the guy who made house calls!). Obviously being an Apple tech had some benefits and "connections." My 6200 over time became a 6300, then a 6320. One day I fooled around and put a 6360 logic board in it (an exact fit size wise) -- it didn't work. I tried a 6400, too -- no go. I didn't spend any real time trying to figure out why and just forgot about it. One day I had a call to a guy's house with a 6360. His machine had no power, which indicates a bad power supply (obvious you might say) or a bad logic board (which actually turns out to be the more common cause, because power is controlled through it). In such a case I would order and take both items on site with me. The power supply was back ordered, but the 6200/6300 one wasn't (which made me think "what's different?"). Okay, at the guy's house, the logic board didn't fix it and the power supply didn't fit! The 6360 power supply is configured and shaped just slightly different. The only one like it! The case and chassis are unchanged from the Quadra 630 (which also has the same power supply as 6200). Why is this? The 6360 is the only Mac in that case which is PCI based. It has different voltage requirements. Hey, you can upgrade your 6360 all the way up to a 6500/300! Mac Daniel replies: Thanks for pointing this out. I've made the mistake of claiming the 62xx and 6300 could be upgraded to a 6360 many times. No more. Have seen this above story and bought a 6500/250 motherboard and also a power supply, got the wrong power supply, one from a 6400, by far to big for the 6200. Since I had the 6500 motherboard, I put it in my 6200 case, started up und it worked with the 6200 power supply without any problem up to now. I installed OS 9.1 and now my old 6200 is like a racing horse. Have at the moment no PCI cards in, is it possible that problems coming on later when I have a USB card and a ethernet card in and more use of power?
