To quote the LEM:
"NewerTech NUpowr 500/183c upgrade (183 MHz 603e w/128K level 2 cache) NewerTech NUpowr 500/167 upgrade (167 MHz 603e) Sonnet Technologies PowerPC upgrade (100 MHz 603e), 8 MB RAM"
I would like to verify with you fine fellas' & fillies that the ONLY PPC upgrade for the Powerbook 500-series with the L2 cache was the 183mhz upgrade...
I got a feller' in New Jersey trying to tell me that his 167mhz processor upgrade has an L2 cache (which [of course] he is trying to trade to me for my Duo 2300c)...
Of course, being from Texas, I SHOULD KNOW when someone is peein' on muh boots & telling me it's rainin'... ;-)
I would appreciate any help; thanks!

p.s. - their ISN'T/WASN'T a way to ... ADD a L2 cache to a processor, is/was there?!?
Not sure about the 167 model (ask for a pic), but if the L2 cache is a quad flat package, then soldering one one sould be a breeze. The 128K L2 cache on the PB1400 603e modules looks to be ~80 pins or so.
