OK, Can you do this on a PB 520? I have a PPC board and a card cage. >> A 520, 520c, 540 and 540c all share the same motherboard, on which is mounted everything except the processor, processor RAM, modem, and country-specific DAA (modem to telco adapter, AKA Data Access Arrangement). Therefore, yes, you may install an UW-SCSI PCMCIA card in your 520 and get UW-SCSI performance out of it. As you have a PPC upgrade board, your PCMCIA card cage must be a Rev. C. If you want to retain the 68K processor, then a Rev. B card cage would work. I retain one 5xx machine which is 68K, and which has a Rev. B card cage. I have several 540cs which have been upgraded to PPC, and for which I have bought a Rev. C card cage. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
