I just picked up a 400 MHz IBM ZIF at Goodwill. PPCchecker reports it as 750L and Lonestar Rev. 2.1 and as a copper based CPU. XLR8 Mach Speed Control 2.6.4 reports it as a PPC G3 750 10x.

However, when I set my XLR8 Carrier ZIF to 10X multiplier, or my PowerLogix Carrier ZIF to 10X multiplier, the card does not work. Yes, I set the bus speed to 40 MHz, so that overclocking would not be an issue.

So, I'm guessing that the simple answer is that this ZIF has a G3 chip which does not support 10X multipliers. I'm a tiny bit puzzled since MSC reports it as 10x but that could be a bug in that rev. of MSC.

Can anyone tell me the details on how to determine if a copper IBM PPC750 supports 10X or not? Revision number? Markings?
