I believe the logic boards from a 5200, 5300, 5400, 5500, 6200, 6300, 
6360, 6400 or 6500 would fit. If it has no PCI riser or slot for one it 
is either a 5/6200 or 5/6300.

LC 580?

[l s]

Greetings,
 I have an LC580 that the HD is bad on.  But that
is not my question.  As I was working with it to
discover the problem, I discovered it was a Power Mac.
 I opened it up to see what I could find and it has a
PowerPC 603 chip.  What sort of motherboard would fit
in there?  If more than one, how do I figure out
which?

Thanks, Lee

Re: 4GB HD in Quadra 605 / Performa 475

[Mattera Fernando Mario (IBM)]

concretely, you consider that is not going to work?

Or you could do what I did -- slice a slot in the side of the case and pass
through the SCSI and power leads, the drive just sits on the table. =D Ugly,
of course, but it works. I've got a pair of 15150Ns here and I had one in
(or at least hooked up to =P) my LC475; yes, they're way too tall to fit in
and would probably overheat the comp.

I've warmed (hah) to the 15150s. I actually can't sleep properly if they're
not spinning. =O
