250mhz daughtercard in 9500 - 2007/03/29 12:15 i have a chance to get the stated daughtercard for a couple bucks. does anyone remember whether it will run in my 9500? i have this fuzzy recollection of seeing it written somewhere, that the processor cards from the kansas systems won't run in the tsunami systems?

thanks for any help.

Re:250mhz daughtercard in 9500 - 2007/03/29 16:57 From what I remember you cannot use the 300 & 350MHz CPU's in the earlier boards.

Hopefully someone else can confirm this.

Re:250mhz daughtercard in 9500 - 2007/07/04 14:29 Hello,
I am running a 450Mz G4 card from Sonnet in a PM 8500 and it works great. I use it with drives running OS 7.6.1 to 9.2.2 and OS X 10.2.8 I have using XPostFacto's 2.2.5 help. It was 1 year ago today that I was able to install OS X on this old machine. I am very happy!
Have a great 4th, Ivan

He is referring to a pre-G3 250MHz 603 CPU (from a Mac clone I assume) which should work in all the 7300-9600's except the models with the 86/9600 300 & 350MHz models. It is possible it may work, I don't kno0w but I do know the 300 & 350MHz CPU's will not work in the lower speed PowerMacs.
