Hello everyone,

For various reasons I am now considering swapping CPUs between my PM
7500/100 and PM 7600/200.

Can you point me to any caveats etc. documented on the Web before I
start the transplant surgery?

Any useful info. on this NG shall be duly appreciated :-).

Yours sincerely,
Signature

Other than standard static and high voltage warnings ("Static kills
computers" and "Messing with the power supply box might kill you")
threre really are not caveats. It's a simple "plug it in and watch it
work" operation. As the Nike commercial says, "Just do it". Make sure to
give the CUDA reset button a press - little button, maybe a whole 1/8
inch across, just to the rear of the processor slot. Usually black,
might be red or silver/grey. Press and hold for 10 seconds. Release.
Plug in the transplant card, and you're done except for the closing up.

FWIW: 7500/7600 are the same machine, but the 7600 is the "speed bumped"
version. It shipped about a year after the 7500, with a bigger HD, more
RAM, and the faster processor card - I THINK the 7600 may have shipped
with a PPC603 rather than a PPC601, but without going to the archives,
I'm not certain.

I'm curious as to what the point is, unless perhaps you're attempting to
diagnose a problem?
