Power Macintosh Computers

Upgrade [a] PowerPC Upgrade Card Enabler 1.0.1

[a] No system enabler is required with this Macintosh with System 7.5 installed.

i have 8.1 installed… well i guess it looks like i do have some kind of freeky hardware issue…

Well looks like i am going to have to take the heat gun to the q700 board and remove the rom's

Maybe this will (make) the PPC Card always work…. Grrrrrrrrrr. [}] ]'> :?: :lol:
