There are a few different PowerPC upgrades out there for the 500 series. I think you must have a unit with the Apple card; when you shipped your 5xx to Apple to have the PowerPC daughtercard installed, they would also replace the Powerbook 5xx nameplate tab at the top of the screen with a tab bearing a "PowerPC" decal.

That makes sense, the decal does feel a little rough and sticks out a little as if it's been added later. :beige:

Thanks,

Martin
