Hey all, I have a Performa 6300CD motherboard that has been sitting in a drawer for a few years and I'd like to plug it in and play with it. I *did* previously try running it in my Power Macintosh 6500 case and it worked fine, but now that I think about it, I remember reading somewhere that mixing NuBus and PCI cases and mobos is bad because the power pins on the harness are slightly different, but now I can't find where I read that. Is this true? I'd rather not fully open up the 6500 case to check unless needed. If so, why did it work fine when I tried it previously? I'm mostly just asking to calm my fears of running this older mobo in the newer case and accidentally damaging it over time even though it did seem to work fine. (Yes, I know this is a downgrade, I'm just doing this for fun)
