The 8500 board can't handle the 604ev processor. You might have better luck putting the Mach V 8600 board into the 8500 case, then using the 8500 board with a G3 or G4 processor inside the 8600 case. Either way, it's going to be a pain. Probably the best thing is to just get a couple G3 processor cards and upgrade both. -J
