Wallstreet processor swap
Hi list, does anyone know if it is possible to replace the microprocessor board in a '98 G3 series 233mhz Wallstreet with the 233mhz cacheless board from an earlier model Mainstreet? My friend's Wallstreet won't start up (no startup chime) and we want to do the swap to see if the problem is in the processor and/or the ram. Also would the we be at risk of harming the good board if other components such as the power manger or i/o boards are faulty? Any info you can provide would be much appreciated.

Simon Stone --- The repair manual has a spreadsheet showing which combinations of processor and logic boards will work. It is described based on the serial numbers of the processor card and logic boards. I went through a bit of a tangle until I got the correct pieces to put a Wallstreet back in operation (still have some of the extra pieces). I can clip and send you a copy of the chart if you wish. ken -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

While looking through the manual I read that my friend's problem could also be due to a faulty keyborad, we removed it and the book was happy, end of story. Thanks again.
