Or he could have thrown caution to the wind and used the socket based 50MHz Powercache upgrade that sits on the board and requires no mods, AND leaves the PDS slot totally free. I speak from experience - I have one in my SE/30 and i like it lotz :)
Hey Mark,
Do you have a picture of this upgrade card?
I poked around your FPM site a little but didn't find one. I would sure like to see this upgrade card.
I have a socketed mobo in one of my SE/30's and have been toying with the idea of pulling the
50MHz processor from an old Daystar upgrade for a II that I have lying around and slapping it in,
then seeing how high I can actually chip the board without having problems.
Not sure how well this would work since the FPU is soldered on the mobo so you can't simply replace it with the one from the Daystar, and I'm guessing that it probably won't run at 50MHz.
