<< Do I have to pull the CPU from the MB or is the PPC card smoked? >> No, the 68040 should not be removed when a PPC Upgrade Card is used. The PPC Upgrade Card could be good, yet the Q/C610's right-angle adapter could be bad. The Apple card (66 MHz; 50 MHz in some machines) and the DayStar/Sonnet card are essentially the same card, but packaged quite differently. All use the very same ROM chips and the very same custom LSIs, all of which are Apple proprietary parts. The Apple card supports only a "times 2" clock; the DayStar/Sonnet card supports only a "times 3" and a "times 4" clock, by a jumper setting. The Apple card has an IBM PPC 601 chip which is rated 66 MHz; the DayStar/Sonnet card has an IBM PPC 601 chip which is rated 100 MHz. The Apple card can be "chipped" to 80 MHz; the DayStar/Sonnet card will fail if the combination of the motherboard's 68040 clock and the PPC Upgrade Card's jumper setting results in a 601 clock of greater than 100 MHz. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
