My PCPro Technical Information indicates that the cache chip is 3.3 v,
whereas, I think I recall, those in Apple Macs are 5.0 v.
Neither will work in the other ... and PCC cache chips in a Mac may get
'blown'.
There were, I also think I recall, some cache chips - retail versions - that
could be switched ... aor maybe it was the computer that c/be switched.
You can almost certainly find more and better information on PowerWatch
<http://www.powerwatch.com/>.
Hope this helps.

I tried a 1MB cache chip in my 7500 and it won't boot.
Another person tried a 1MB cache n their 7600 with the same results.
I'll have to look to see if I have any 512k cache chips in my clone
collection to try in the 7500 and see what happens.
