200MP Dual-604 card in a 7600/200?

[Schmoburger]

So given that I usually run my 9600/200MP with a Crescendo G3/400 card for daily driving because it is fast, cool-running and not terribly hungry, I have a dual-604 daughtercard sitting in the cupboard most of the time not doing much. I'm keeping it for if I ever decide to revert back to standard for funzies but it is basically going unused.

Now I also have a fairly wicked 7600/200 I built many years ago, and from memory the later 7/8/9 machines shared similarish architecture and iirc the Crescendo upgrade cards were cross-compatible with all of these mahines. This leads me to ponder whether i could make a multi-procesor franken-7600 by simply swapping in the dual-604/200 card in place of the standard single-604/200 unit and have it work and also not blow up. For what it's worth I have enough 75/7600's that I could afford to sacrifice one for experimentation, but i would rather not blow up my daughtercard as MP's and their associated parts are hard to get. lol

Anybody tried it before?

Never mind folks.. I hapened across an old thread that seems to confirm that the 200MP card will work fine

great

i would add a fan on the top of the cpu, unplug all internal devices to get lower power consumption (internal fast scsi can be used externally with an adapter) and, most of all, i would find a 1Mb L2 module.. (good luck)

then linux or nothing.
