640 DOS card in another machine?

Click to expand...

I'm not sure if it will work in other '040 machines.

A quick bit of Googling turns up this over at the 'fritter:

Theoretically the card from a Performa 640 Dos compatible *could* work on an LC 575, as the 640 Dos Compatible card plugs directly into the 68040 processor socket/

BUT--, thing is, this card does not have a connector for external video out / as it does all the video output via a special connector that, well, piggybacks with the internal circuits of the Performa 640.

So, barring close examination of that internal connection and what it plugs into, that sounds like a pretty definite no.

Still, I'll have a PDS slot free for a Houdini card

(/edit/ / and one cacheless 25MHz 605 version, both runnning 50MHz full '040s/)

Hm. 50MHz CC Mystic, anyone?
