It boots :) :)

It's running 8.0 and the card is a 601 at 66MHz, as expected (2x the 33MHz '040). Unfortunately, the poor thing is hamstrung by only 20MB of RAM, so it really strains. Apple System Profiler identifies it as a "Power Macintosh 800" (hah!).

I'm going to max out the memory, then see if I can hack 8.6 (or at least 8.5.1) to boot on it because I've always wanted to see how well Classilla would run on such a system.

I don't know if anyone's tried (maybe I'll be the first), but I wouldn't think I need to pull the PowerPC card to boot A/UX because it just won't get enabled. Unless anyone here with experience with the 601 cards knows differently?
