Hi!
I have a Performa 630 DOS Compatible that I want to "spec to the maximum" - at least as far as possible.
It came with the DOS Card and a Comm-Slot Ethernet card. I increased the RAM to the maximum, replaced the HD with a CF card and was given an AV-card and tuner for it. Now i secured a source for a "full" 68040 Chip with FPU. It's from an Amiga supplier, so I don't have to sacrifice another Mac for it and the Performa can suddenly transform into a Quadra
The last thing I can think of is increasing the clock speed from 33 to 40 Mhz. I read that this normally does not pose any issues and would just go through with it if it weren't for the DOS Card. Anyone with experience in that regard? Does this mess up timing or clock speeds with the included AMD 486?
I would be happy to hear from anyone who tried this before. And I would also like to hear suggestions about how to "spec up" this machine even more
