I know the machines like the 540c have a cpu card in them... so as to how someone would get ahold of some full 040 cpu cards i have no idea.

maybe still laying around from messed up 550c's? Maybe apple sold a upgrade card for the 540c? and they were selling off new old stock?

in that case i would like to get ahold of the PCMCIA kit for it as well and why not shoot the moon, a new or rebuilt battery pack for it.

and heck blow the moon up... oc that sucker to 40 mhz too.

I would be more then happy to install a full 040 into my 540c... and send the plastics off to get them plasti chromed, then it wouldn't be so ass ugly
