Hi,

I have two machines and was trying to make one uber machine ;-)

>From everything I could find on the net it should work....

I took a PowerPC PDS card out of a Quadra 610.Which meant taking it out
of the adapter and installed it into a Quadra 650.

The 610 worked fine using MacOS 8.1 with and without the PDS card ;-)

The 650 didn't seem to want to acknowledge the card was there. I did
install the PowerPC control panel switch it on did the vulcan mind
cleansing control-p-r and rebooted it..

The 650 also has MacOS 8.1 on it..

It seems with card is an Apple original and doesn't have a frequency
switch/jumper on it like some of the 3rd party ones...

So a copy of questions:

1) Should it work?

2) any diagnostic software that might help I think daystar had some?

3) What is latest version of MacOS can I run on it? 8.6?

The 610 only has 20MBs in it and the 650 has 72MBs that 

The reason for doing this is to get a later version netscape MacOS 8.0
came with Navigator 3.0 but when I tried to install Netscape 4.78 or
Opera they complain about not having ppc...on the 650...

Anyway any thoughts or pointers would be appreciated...

Frank
