They also made a more obscure variant that plugged directly into the 68040 CPU socket for LC 575's and 630's. I had one once, and found the performance benefit to be less than great. On 7/23/09 6:34 AM, "J M" wrote: > Its the 040 processor card, commonally found in Quadra 650 or Centris 650, >

Thanks Guys !! Essentially, I'm really only interested in using this unit possibly as a word processor. More of a nostalgic item than anything else. So I would be interested in a locally connected printer only. Is there someplace or maybe a website which specializes in old Apple equipment ?
