Another update. I acquired another (nominally Apple) Quadra PDS 601 card, and put it into the 950. Boing! Up, up and away at 66MHz.
Oh yeah? So I put the formerly mucking-up card back into the 700, taking care to re-install OS 8.1 with PPC additions. Boing! Up, up and away at 50MHz.
The sole differences between now and May were that the 950 now had 192MB of RAM in twelve of the older giant cards with 32 chips each, instead of more-recent cards (with 8 chips), totalling 128MB, and the 700 had 68MB (with 4MB soldered-in and 4x8-chip cards) instead of the previous 20MB.
In both cases only the Apple CP was active. Blessed computers! (That's blessèd, not blest.)
