IRC, and as I understood it back in the day . . . :-/

Apple's botched (read as intentionally crippled, IMHO) implementation of IDE on the Q630 will ONLY address IDE HDDs. I could well be wrong, and I hope you can prove me so, but you won't be able to get such Solid State Memory to work on a "stock" Q630, AFAIK.

It'd take a PCI equipped MoBo transplant and a USB card to do much of anything really useful with my favorite form factored Desktop Mac from the transitional NuBus->PCI architecture era.

It was my fovorite because it perfectly fit into the rounded desktop overhang I built to top off the dresser/desk/captains bed & custom adjustable shelving unit I built for the rug-rat's small bedroom up in the Big Apple.

Good luck hacking Solid State Memory onto the Q630's NuBus Architecture, comrade.
