I'm no expert on this, I think the only 68k Mac that can be brought forward to a PPC is the Quadra 800, and that takes saving the upper case, throwing
out the rest and putting the upper case on a PM 8500. The back and the
bottom will not work on a 8500. (I tried years ago, and bought the mobo and
higher output power supply, but could not find the case bottom.)
Ahum. There is a ppc update for the IIci. And I am pretty sure the 800 isn't the only quad that can be upgraded with a ppc processor.
The Q650 runs a 601 and 8.6 nicely thanks, just adding one more form factor. :)
