Finally got the logic board out without breaking any plastics (knock on wood), and removed the old battery which haven’t gone off yet and upgraded the ram.
Need to figure out how to take the cache card out (so I can get video with the G3 accelerator) before testing everything before putting it back together
@yon The middle two slots are the ROM chip and the Cache slot. I already pulled the cache, and going to test everything out of the case slot before putting everything back together.
The machine runs a lot quieter without the hard drive, although no video because the Cache card needs to be removed first since the accelerator has it's own L2 cache.
@yon Only used on the 100+ Mhz PowerPC 601 CPUs, which shows that it produces quite a bit of heat.. although the 603 barely have a heat sink as seen in the Performa 6200, the "worst Mac” and 604.
