Weren't the Umax c500 and c600 machines the only 603 based Mac's that used a zif processor?

True. If I was going to use it full time under the 601 processor I would definately get a ppc Nubus Mac though.

Its a part of our dump that is used for regional electronics recycling.

I have been using Ubuntu on a bunch of these pc's and have been pleasantly surprised.

Smurf G3/450 MHz, a 3.06 MHz P4 server white box server with 2 gigs of ram and six 18 gig scsi drives in some form of raid array, some kind of PIII Tualatin dual processor 1133 MHz Dell server and yes a fully functional iPod nano without any cradle or earbuds at my local dump.

Yeah, my mistake. I actually have had a bunch of surplus 4400's. The ram was expensive. 3.3 volt 168 pin dimms iirc. One plus of the 4400 is it used ide drives imho.

Hope my old machines hold out. I guess I could replace them when and if I need to.

The real problem with the 4400 was the expensive ram it used. Not to mention the 144 megabyte ram ceiling.

I don't think I have ever seen a bulging capacitor in a Mac of any vintage.

Some people would saying owning a 4400 is a terrible mistake! [:)] ]'>

Did you check that the card is selected in AppleTalk Control Panel?

One time I got four 168 pin dimms from somewhere. I put them in my smurf G3. Took a long, long time to boot. When it finally dropped into the Finder I found out why. They were only 16 meg dimms. OSX and 64 megs of ram don't mix! From personal experience anything under 512 megs is insufficient...

Speaking of PDS slot cache cards. I bought one a while back on eBay that wasn't a Daystar and it had a different form factor but the Daystar software worked fine with it. I think it was a Techworks card.

Putting a ppc card in an 040 Mac is blasphemy. One reason is why is anyone at this point using an 040 Mac as a main machine? Another reason is that a 6100, 7100 or 8100 can easily be had. As can a pci powermac. In fact biege and smurf G3's are about the cheapest Mac's that you can buy on eBay...

The caddy or the correct bezel are easy enough to find on eBay. Or trim the bezel you have a get a tray loading cd.

68k Mac's used to be a dime a dozen on eBay. They very near literally had too be given a way. The good machines like Quadra's are getting rare. If you notice the guy who supposedly bought the 950 for $400 had either one or zero feedbacks. Also neither seller nor buyer has left each other...

He claimed to be an Apple sales rep. Guess he doesn't know his product very well! [:)] ]'>

He told me I was wrong when I told him it wasn't a dual processor machine. Said he was an Apple rep and sold them.
