A little accelerator card for the q700
Posted by: luckybob on 2017-11-26 19:38:21 Was going to post this a few days ago, but with the 'upgrade' I just now remembered. https://imgur.com/a/YZMTV Got if off epay for $25. Adds 128k of L2 to the Quadra 700, 900 & 950 if the blurb on the back can be believed. The seller taped the shipping label DIRECTLY to the box. Thankfully I was able to remove it with minimal damage. I'm not really a box collector, but I won't turn one down! Even came with receipts! Not pictured is the utility disk. I'll make an image of it if anyone wants/needs it. It's likely to go into the Q700 I have. All I need now is to retrobrite it and with the 6 hours of sunlight right now, it's likely to be a project for the summer. Yes I know there are faster accelerators, but honestly, If I wanted a ppc 601, i'd just build a ppc 601.
Posted by: omidimo on 2017-11-26 20:55:25 What a sweet find! I have always wanted one for my Q700/650/950, but I have had more luck getting 601 cards. Definitely worth benchmarking when the Q700 re-do is done.
