That is sad. Damn market-droids.
The Q800 board will work fine with a 40MHz 68040
Are they socketed? I guess you are just saying that it'd be
technically possible?
There was an Apple PPC PDS upgrade for the 040
Quadras. If it was just a
sticker on the front, it probably had the upgrade.
That was my thought, too, until I opened it up. It's definitely not
upgraded. It doesn't even have any adapter installed on the slot. I guess
maybe that's only there if you want to use Nubus. The case is
silkscreened, too, not a sticker. I think it might just be the cover from
a 6100 or something.
