I still have a boatload of compact Macs and other oddball workgroup
servers and other odd iterations that I'll be purging this spring, if
anyone's interested. I live in northeastern Illinois.


I'd be interested in a Quadra 700 if you have one.  I don't mind
paying for shipping + hassle, and I can put it to good use.


It may not be your thing, but there are several advantages to putting 
a C/Q 650 motherboard in a Q700 case.  Unless you have a bunch of 
large capacity 30 pin SIMMs laying around...

I'd be interested in a Quadra 700 if you have one.  I don't mind
paying for shipping + hassle, and I can put it to good use.  By the
way, I have apache up and running on the IIfx with the
www.cheapotech.com website.  Now that the site is (hopefully) stable,

which is what Macs are all about . . . :-)

You don't really want to drill out the holes on a multi-layer PCB. 
The plating of the plated through holes is thin and could be removed 
entirely.  I wouldn't trust the solder to make reliable contact.

And I HAD the socket. But its back legs were a larger diameter than the
front,
and larger than the original 4-pin oscillator. I feared the holes would
become too
wide to allow contact. As it was, I drilled the holes with an orifice drill
so the
new oscillator would slide in without interference.

A hint for next time.  Assuming this is a DIP 14 or DIP 8 package 
size oscillator, cut the pins off, remove the oscillator and then 
desolder the individual pins from the board.  You waste an oscillator 
but it's much easier on the board.  Then install a socket to hold the 
new oscillator.  This way if the board doesn't work at the higher 
clock speed you can revert to the original speed with a new 
oscillator.

Overclocked Quadra 700

[J. S. Garrison]

Somehow, this AM, I got into playing with one of my two Quadra 700's. I
got the bug
to overclock it. I put a 33Mhz. chip into the socket and checked System
Profile. It was
still at 25Mhz. So, walking to my recycle pile, I pulled out a PC
motherboard from a
66Mhz. PC, removed the 66Mhz. oscillator, sloppily, and placed it on the
Mac's
motherboard in place of the 50Mhz. one that was there.

This went sloppily. I had a hard time removing those oscillators, and
thought I might
have ruined things. But, I didn't.

Happily, a half-blind bull-in-a-china-shop now has a 33Mhz. Quadra 700
with all
ports and devices operational.

A big nod to Mark Schrier for his very well documented Overclocking
site.
I recommend the attempt to anyone.

Jeff

Nope, that 040 card only works in the Mac II series,
with an adaptor in many of them. The actual Q700
upgrade kit from Apple was the logicboard and
complete lower case. You swapped the drives, power
supply and case lid over from the IIci or IIcx.
If you have three NuBus cards in your IIci/IIcx
you'll have to decide which one to give up. Easy
choice if one is a network card as the Q700 has that
built in. (But Apple didn't have to cut the 700
dow to 2 NuBus slots, dammit!)

IIci/cx to Quadra 700?

[JakeCatfox]

I found a kit to upgrade a IIci/cx to a Quadra 700. What kind of performance 
increase will I get? My system uses a 40mhz 68040 card from Daystar already 
.. but I assume this will speed things up a TON by boosting the speed of the 
main processor the data has to flow through to get to the '040 in the first 
place. Would the 040 card even WORK in a Quadra 700, or do any good?

Thx,
