RAM checked out, and in fact, I am proud to announce that the machine is up and running perfectly! I threw the machine together, and it's running OS 9.2.2 right now (<3 OS9Helper) and will soon be running 10.3 as well (<3 <3 <3 XPostFacto!)
It's a fantastic machine, and when I get done tricking it out, it will be even better!
I've got a 350Mhz G3 w/ 1MB Cache on it's way, and will clock it up to between 433-466Mhz to get the most speed out of it (if I can that is)
Oh, and I figured out how to get the CPU running @ 333Mhz without crashing the bus. they did some screwy documentation on the dip switches, so I played around with them till I got it stable, using guides across the net that helped decode which switches does what.
Anyways, the DaughterCard in this was actually designed for the PCI PowerMacs of this range. and in fact was considered to support this machine. So putting it in this was no problem at all.
This machine was originally a 200Mhz 604e System, but I have since transplanted the 604e into the PowerMac 7500 and it runs beatifully. So that's nice. I can have a spare OS 7.5.5 Machine, and one running OS 9 *AND* OS X
Not a bad setup, eh?
