Quaddoubler Problem

Anyone on the list have experience with Quaddoublers? I have a Quadra 700 I leave on for months at a time as an OpenBSD box doing some minor tasks, and I noticed when it's given very intense tasks (like for instance, today when I was compiling OpenSSH), it tends to have stability issues. I b

My friend just gave me an Apple Multiple Scan 15 display tonight, but the cable seems a bit messed up. I have to bend it in an awkward position to get color, and if I don't it stays in a monochrome green. Any way to fix this other than bending the cable? I'm kind of worried that bending it even

Quaddoubler

Just closed a deal on one of these used. Anyone had experience with them? Do they generally perform well? I'll be using it on a machine that's running OpenBSD 3.0. Also, I ordered some memory from SA Tech, but they didn't include the shipping costs in the totals. Do they just add it on later?

Anyone know where I could find (new or used) 16mb sticks for a Quadra? I want to boost it up to 68mb. Crucial.com only had 4mb simms, and Macsolutions told me I needed 72-pin simms even though the Quadra only takes 30 pin simms. Is there any difference between the 30-pinn simms this Mac uses an
