This little tidbit is from alk's 5300 FAQ:

2.9.1) Can I upgrade my CPU?
In short, no. The 5300 is not processor upgradeable. However, PowerLogix developed a prototype PDS card CPU "upgrade," similar to the G3 processor cards that can be added to the PowerMac 6100. The card was based around a 130 MHz 603e and was going to carry the PowerBoost name, but it never came to market.

Apparently, there's a PDS in there somewhere? :?: Elsewhere, alk mentions that the external video card slot is a bridged '030 PDS - but shirley that's no good for a CPU upgrade?
