Not really, they took the ADB port off of the backplate (which unscrews from the case so is a small part) and changed the color of the panels. AFAIK the case was still the same right up until they changed to the QuickSilver. > Ive read roumors that powerlogix is working on a > work-around for that as was the case with the firmware so that they > can > market their new 800mhz to B&W owners =) Yeh, when I asked they said it was 50/50 as to if they would do it. I think they have the patch built are having jelly beans about releasing it. >> Which is nice if you can afford to ;). > > The only way I can afford it is to do things myself =) Warranties are not to be sniffed at. The cost of posting the item to the manufacturer to be repaired is slight compared to say a new hard disk or a new logic board but if it's outta warranty it does free the sole a bit. If ut's totally dumpster grade stuff I go nutz - look for my Quadra 805 hack on my site to see how nutz :). >> Yes but there is still a warranty on the G4 upgrade. > > was =) its an Xlr8 G4/400 zif lol they shouldnt care anyway =) > they > were caught selling overclocked 466 Zif as 500's for awhile ( or > maybe it > was 500's overclocked as 550's - cant remember exaclty ) little > buggers! Yes but there still would be on a G4 from PowerLogix which is where i intend to get mine. >> Hmm... I tried on a rev. 1 B&W to get the speed up to 450MHz. It >> diddn't work. I now have a Rev. 2.

I did that. And it is. And I accept that. I almost feel like trying to get mine up to 450MHz seeing as the machine is 3 years old and I have no AppleCare on it :). -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Mac LC Central -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
