That's similar to what I was thinking when I asked about 32-bit clean. The dirty Macs had an extension which would cause the so-called "stutter start," which was expected behavior.

Dual 604ev @ 300MHz? — #4

The MaxxBoxx could do SMP if I recall. It would appear that Everymac agrees with me on this. They were sold primarily in Germany same as the system referenced by the OP.

Yeah. Without a working PRAM battery my PowerMac 6100 does the same thing. I actually have to press the power button twice in order for it to work. Then it will reboot itself and s…

Would anyone pay more than $20 for a ROM 0 IIgs? — #5

I seem to remember some of the Woz editions shipped with ROM 01 boards. It looks like mine certainly did. Also, are there any real hardware differences between ROM 00 and 01 machin…

These were 604- and 604e-based machines, not the 604ev-based one I referenced in the thread. (I tried but couldn't delete the duplicate thread, by the way, and am not sure where i…
