<< Just got a 520 greyscale with a 100mhz upgrade card and 16mb ram card. I tried transplanting the ppc chip into a 520c with a 32mb ram card. The 520 was running 7.5.2 or 3 (can't recall off hand). The 520c is running 8.1. Once I seated the ppc chip, upon boot the cpu stops boot halfway through and says there is a memory problem. I rechecked and the 32mg ram chip indeed runs fine with the 25 and 33mhz stock chips in all my 4 500 series units, but paired with the 100mhz unit--no go. If I slip the 100mhz unit back into the greyscale 520 it will work with the 16mb chip, but not with the 32. Any ideas as to what gives? Does this card need a special driver I do not have? A special install? Did the board gas out? I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated. >> I suspect that the system on the 520c is not the right one for PPC. You will need to either install a "fat" version of a system (one that will work with b oth 68xxx and PPC) on that machine before installing the PPC upgrade card or have an external CD attached that you can boot from and install the PPC version of a system...I would recommend 8.1.
