Yep, there are severals. The most stabile one I met was the Apple Upgrade
Card, making a PowerMacintosh 800 out of the Quadra 800. You'll get a PPC
601 running at 66MHz. Runs great at OS 8.1 . OS 8.6 is possible with a hack,
but wouldn't advise that. Have a look for such a card at the swaplist, or
goto <http://www.secondhandmac.com> or ebay, if you like that.

Make a "clean install", safe from "Old System Folder" all you need and trash
the rest.
