Ugly Thought! That sounds WAY too much like Skynet! c

What's a GD emulator? I'm pretty sure the 4 MB ROM is necessary for it to work, so it must have been included? c

Indeed. A quick search uncovered this LEM article (take it with appropriately-sized gain of salt): https://lowendmac.com/2016/powerpc-601-cpu-upgrades-for-68040-macs-with-lc-pds/ If the article is correct (why wouldn't it be?), there apparently was an Apple Power Mac Processor Upgrade (APMPU...

I'm not sure. If not, what does a PPC upgrade for a 630 look like? I see. I thought it was something along those lines, but I couldn't remember for sure (my knowledge is a bit rusty from having been on the sidelines for the better part of a decade (2019-ish to now-ish)). c

I think there was, and all Apple did for the 6200/6300 was redesign the logic board such that it was built in. A clue to this, I believe, is that the 630 and 6200 logic boards are interchangeable and will run in each other's chassis. I'm not sure if the 6300 LB would run properly in an...

Well, given that the x200/x300 is essentially a 630 with a PPC upgrade kludged in, it makes perfect sense that some of its architectural details are... weird. c

Somewhat off topic, but fun: last I checked, preterhuman.net still had a hotline server with tons of goodies in it. c

Huh. OK. As I said in my last post, it didn't occur to me that they might use different cables, but I'm not surprised that they do. Oh, well. It's not a big deal, really. I don't use that machine much anyway. The last time I remember powering it up was at least 10 years ago, maybe longer...

The c and ce used different cables? I knew the cs, being passive matrix, used a different cable than the active matrix panels, but I didn't think the different res active matrix panels did, though I'm not surprised. Probably my best chance of acquiring both the ce panel and matching cable...

I haven't the foggiest clue what LCD panel I should look for to restore my PB5300's ce-ness. And even if I did, I somehow doubt I'd be able to afford it in this day and age (sometimes I wish the social media influencers hadn't discovered old Macs! The prices have nearly tripled in the years...

That is one beast of a card! c

@galgot What did you do to your title bars and scroll bars? That doesn't look like regular Apple Platinum! c

Impressive! Keep up the good work! c

Agreed ten thousand percent!!! c

Basically, yeah. It does have the "5300ce" badge, however, so it apparently is a genuine 5300ce, aside from the display. c
