Strike me down with lightening if I'm wrong, but aren't the Powerbase processors soldered to the board? Removing them must be quite tricky.

Champ, I think what you have is a bad cache chip--unless you've upgraded to G3 VIA the cache slot.

Your Powebases should boot with their "Processors" removed, if the former is correct.

Subject: Swap processors?
From: Scott Schuckert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I have a PowerBase 180 (40MHz bus). Can I swap in a processor card from
a PowerBase 200, also with a 40 MHz bus? I have the card here; it's
identical to the one in the computer, except for the 200/40 sticker
instead of a 180/40 sticker.


I tried it and it won't boot. Doesn't this work or do I have a bad card?

If you've switched back and forth acouple of times between the two cards and one of them works and the other doesn't, then the one that doesn't work is probably bad. But, IIRC, these cards have a bunch of jumpers on the top edge. If that's the case, or if they have jumpers anywhere else, you should see if the jumpers on the one that doesn't work are set the same as on the one that does.

P.S. 16 days seems like a long time not to get aresponse to your question. Perhaps someone responded already and I didn't receive that posting.
