Oh, I see what you mean. Could it possibly be that someone had put a real Quadra 605 motherboard in that LCIII case? I think they fit perfectly.
In any event, I was always under the impression that the "LCIII+" designation stood for the 33MHz version of the standard 25MHz LCIII, possibly only sold in Canada (?), and identical to the Performa 460, always sold as a 33MHz machine. I understand it's also possible to take a stock LCIII and by changing one resistor or capacitor (can't remember exactly) you upgrade the speed to 33MHz anyway. I seem to remember that this was detailed on Low-End Mac somewhere. ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.S. Garrison" > Right.
