JAS, interesting project you are proposing here. How would you propose attaching a Universal PowerCache or Turbo040 card to the socketed adapter? Some kind of cable harness? One thought I have is to reverse engineer the SE/30 030 PowerCache board and use a Universal PowerCache to donate all the proprietary chips from it. Maybe an 040 version could be made as well. The main problem is those boards have many components and are multi-layered. -TT -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
