<< I have just taken receipt of a Q700 and am surprised to find it has a 601 chip in it aswell. The salesman wiped the drive and has put 7.5.3 on it. How do I get he OS to recognise the 601 chip ? Do I need a "fat" system or something ? >> 7.5.3 should be the earliest OS for that machine. 7.6.1 would be better. Basically, you install the "fat" system, then you open the PowerPC control panel, check PowerPC mode, then you completely shutdown the machine. When you power the machine back on, it will come up in PowerPC mode. To revert to 68K mode, reverse the process, but uncheck PowerPC mode. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
