The Mac's current chip is a XC68LC040RC33B.
I have a spare chip here, a XC68040HRC25M
which looks the wrong speed.
The one you have will probably work anyway. But since it isn't cleared
for 33 Mhz, it could fry (chances are it won't as Macs have usually
faired pretty well at being overclocked).
If you have no use for the 25 MHz version you have, I'd actually love to
make a trade. I'm pretty sure the ones I pulled are all 33 MHz (I'll
check in the morning), but since I planned to use them in Centris 610's
which are only clocked at 20 MHz, I'd be fine with a 25 MHz chip instead.
If you do have another use for it, no biggie, I'll still send you a full
040 chip (pending I have a 33 MHz one, but I'm pretty sure that is the
only speed I have, they came from dead Quadra 630's which were 33 MHz
machines)

New subject: ADM3's Where did they go?
To all who expressed interest in getting one of the ADM3's I was hoping to
pick up next weekend, I just got the e-Mail which I am attaching below. As
you can tell, I will not get getting them. I will try to contact each of the
people who sent me e-mail directly, but wanted to post initially to the list
so you would all know....
David.
---------------------------------------
Sigh.
I am embarrassed to be writing this.
I made it over to my Dad's storage area today only to find NO FREAKING
AMD3s.
There was a large amount of CLSI OEM'ed terminals (Visual Technology????
Couldn't find any info or specs on the cases) that were pulled out of other
library installations, but no AMD3s.
There was really no other explanation other than my dad saying over and over
"I could have sworn I had a bunch of these". The real problem is that I
think is is suffering from a serious hoarding disorder (I have been trying
to help him clear out his stuff) and he has so much stuff in various places
that he doesn't really know what he does and doesn't have. You would cry if
you could see the way old computer equipment is just piled up and mixed in
with alot of other junk. He probably does have some nice treasures in there
*IF* you could get at them.
I am totally sorry for wasting everybody's time and getting anybody's hopes
up. Next time I will actually be sure to see the stuff with my own eyes
before I go offering things. Live and learn.
Again, my apologies. Dave, if you could update the folks you had spoken to
and apologize to them from me I would appreciate it.

Ok, the scarcity of ADM3's has just jumped due to this. They are now
worth $150 each.

Which is good, because I have two available. And YES, I have
physically seen and touched 'em :)

Well, I ~may~ have a blue one for sale at VCF East...
Only we've never heard back after leaving phone messages about registering
as a vendor!

I know, I know, I'm sorry! I got the message and it's on my callback list
but I've been so swamped lately that I haven't had time to tend to certain
matters.
I swear I'll be caught up this weekend. I was supposed to be caught up
last weekend and now I'm sure Evan is pissed at me :(

Is this one of those 5 bit models, not the ASR-33 style?
Also, I have an old Western Union 5 bit teleltype that I want to get rid of.
It was
used about 20-25 years ago for deaf people to communicate with each other.
It has
the handset adapter and manuals and worked the last time it was used back in
the
mid-1980s. It has been in storage since then. Is anyone interested in one
of these?

Yes -- three rows of keys rather than four on the keyboard, that's the
giveway. (It doesn't necessarily work that way on other company's
products, but Teletype's 5 bit machines have 3 row keyboards.)
The 28 is much sturdier than the 33. The 8-bit analog of the 28 is
the model 35 (or at least that's a lot closer than the 33 is).

Older Creeds have 3-row keyboards, in fact the Murray code has the
characters assigned so that the Figs shift of QWERTYUIOP are 1-0 in
order, if you see what I mean.
Later Creeds, like the famous 444, have 4-row keyboards with a mechanical
blocking arrangement so you can only press those keys for the shift (LETs
or FIGs) that the machine thinks it's currently in.

Prior to the 444 and other late model machines, Creed had both three (N3)
and four row (N4) keyboards for use on the 7B, 54 etc series teleprinters.
They also had a diabolically cunning thing called the CTK(Commercial
Typerwriter Keyboard) that automatically inserted the appropriate case shift
signals as required--mechanically!

You can have the chip, no guarantees on condition.
Physically its OK, and it was handled OK, but maybe
not for it's _entire_ life.
Let me know if there is a 33mhz one there.
