What Joost said, pretty much!
That's one of the last and among the most powerful 68K Macs ever. Why
turn it into an underpowered, poorly-performing PowerPC machine?
It would be a lovely machine to run MacOS 8.1 on - and having that
dual-booting with A/UX would also be very cool indeed. With relatively
easy-to-find and inexpensive 4MB SIMMs, you could fit it with 64MB
RAM, which is plenty for OS8 and would get you up and running with
A/UX.

I'd also like to put in a PowerPC upgrade if
I can find one. I used to
have
one of these years ago, and it used to work pretty well. The Quadra has
a PDS type slot.
That slot will take a SCSI accellerator card, which will essentially
transforn your 950 into a WGS95.
Please don't disgrace this beautiful 68K machine with PPC upgrades. It is
pretty much begging for an A/UX install.
