i guess my thoughts on this is:

forced the CPU to emulate the 040
I thought the PPC emulated 68k as a 68020?

A mate who owned a Quadra 700 purchased one when they were new. He was really happy, even @ 50Mhz
i would assume running mac os 8.6?

that should be the best os for ppc yes? - PPC fully optimized - all 68k legacy stuff removed after 8.1?

My experience with the 601 has mostly been crap. - for the longest time i kept saying to my self what a dog.

I'd just rather use my LC475 @ 33mz, or just use the 840av /w mac os 8.1...

my experience with the PM6100 was not good originally.

However, mine happened to be one that let me overclock the heck out of it!

Once i changed the oscillator , and got that PM6100 @ 90mhz it came A L I V E!

It was even worth investing in a couple 128 meg simms for it!

Not anything like how the old machine responded.

Turned it right in to a crazy fast machine. Witch after this I told my self, Ah ok... Now i get the point of the PPC601!

just like when i took my IIsi and changed its oscillator, now its running at 29mhz... Really.. its completely worth it! it came alive, GUI and everything else!
