Re: Blackbird 520PPC
Mattox, Thoma [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: The PPC cards created for the Blackbird were made by 2 companies...Sonnetts (sold as an Apple upgrade) and Newer Technologies. Both companies used the PPC 603e processors. Sonnetts ran around 117mhz with 8mb ram and Newer had at least 2 different upgrades. One ran at 167mhz with 8mb ram and the other ran at 182mhz with L2 Cache and 25 mb ram (I think). I've never before heard that the Apple PPC upgrade was made by Sonnet. My understanding is that Newer made all the PPC upgrades, including the 100mHz Apple-branded item, as well as the Newer branded 117, 133, 167 and 183 upgrades. The Apple item includes 8MB of ram on the upgrade card. The 117, 133 and 167 upgrades were available with on-card ram in quatities of 0MB, 4MB and 8MB. AFAIK the 183 (a much different design than the earlier models BTW) never shipped with the promised 24MB on-card ram. There may be a few 183/24MB dev units out in the world, but apparently some technical difficulty and/or parts shortages precluded actual shipping product before all PB500 upgrade production ended. All PB500 PPC upgrades speeds are hardware set, any ASP-reported discrepancies between an upgrades reported speed and its actual speed are the result of ASP's inability to deal with non-standard hardware. The 183 upgrade _does_ need the init to enable its cache, however it still runs at 183 even if the init isn't present. An additional _major_ function of the init was to ensure ASP correctly reported the upgrade's speed. Before the init was released, customers were complaining in droves that ASP was reporting wrong processor speeds (usually low!) A utility like Newer's Gauge PRO will correctly report the processor speed even when ASP will not.

Re: Blackbird 520PPC
Apple made a 100 mhz upgrade card--and one is residing in my PPC'd 520c right now. The Apple upgrade is 100 MHz (three times the 33.... MHz bus speed). The third-party upgrades used different multipliers: 3.5X gave you 116.67 MHz, 4X gave you 133.33 MHz, and 5.5X gave you 183.33 MHz. There may have been a 5X at 166.67 MHz, too. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Mine does not have the 24mb RAM added that replaces the internal modem module; I have never seen one with the extra RAM, in fact. The 183mhz Newer has an L2 cache (at 128mb, I think) but it requires a control panel to activiate it. Without it, the processor runs (according to Sonnet's Metronome utility) at 167mhz. So yes, I guess they are really the same processor; the 167mhz processor is just minus the L2. But there was also the 100mhz, 117mhz and the 133mhz processor upgrades for the 500-series... Craig W.

As a hobby I slowly upgraded it, first adding a gray-scale active matrix display from a 540, then putting in a larger hard drive, and then maxing-out the memory. The last thing I did was change-out the cpu with a PowerPC module. Yes, it was 100MHz. But wasn't it a 601? (Can't remember that part for sure.) Anyway, the fellow who sold me the PPC module also included the PowerPC screen label. If you look closely, you will notice that the label is flexible plastic and pops in and and is held in place with little tabs. The screen label came with the cpu upgrade module...it isn't otherwise a standard-built machine. Mystery solved! Thanks for the memories. The Blackbird is one beautiful piece of industrial design!
