Upgrade to PowerPC Performance Run SoftWindows, Games and the latest Multimedia Authoring Software!

	The MicroMac PowerPC 7100 Logic Board Trade-up converts your 68030 or 68040-based Macintosh to a PowerPC-based Macintosh. Now you have the ability to run PowerPC applications and the latest System software without sacrificing the current investment you've made in your Macintosh computer system.
	The MicroMac PowerPC 7100 Logic Board Trade-up comes with a bottom chassis to accommodate the new ports on the back of the 7100 PowerPC logic board.

MicroMac 7100 PowerPC Logic Board Trade-up Benefits: Allows installation of PowerPC software that does not run on 68K-based Macs 66 MHz PowerPC 601-based Logic Board Trade-up increases performance up to 550% 80MHz PowerPC 601-based Logic Board Trade-up increases performance up to 650% optional 256KB of Level-2 cache for even faster speed reuses 72-pin SIMMs optional BigSIMM expands memory capacity capability to 264MB
PowerPC Processor: The MicroMac Technology 7100 PowerPC logic board trade-up converts your existing 68030 or 68040-based Macintosh to a real PowerPC-based Mac. You now will be able to run applications that have been written especially for a PowerPC processor. These applications include, for example, SoftWindows to run Windows applications on your Mac, RealPlayer to download streaming audio and video from the Net, and Riven, a popular game. Take advantage of the added speed of Apple's System 8 and 8.1 with the PowerPC native Finder. Memory Capabilities: The 7100 PowerPC logic board has four SIMM sockets, just like the 68040-based Centris 650 and Quadra 650 model. Both the 7100 PowerPC logic board and the Centris 650 or Quadra 650 logic board utilize 72-pin SIMMs. On the 7100 PowerPC logic board the SIMM sockets need to be populated in pairs of two SIMMs with the same capacity. The following abbreviated table shows the possible memory configurations for the 7100 PowerPC logic board:
	RAM on Logic Board	SIMM 1/ SIMM 2	SIMM 3/ SIMM 4	Total RAM
	8MB	4MB+ 4MB	4MB+ 4MB	24MB
	8MB	8MB+ 8MB	not populated	24MB
	8MB	8MB+ 8MB	4MB+ 4MB	32MB
	8MB	8MB+ 8MB	8MB+ 8MB	40MB
	8MB	8MB+ 8MB	16MB + 16MB	56MB
	8MB	8MB+ 8MB	32MB + 32MB	88MB
	8MB	8MB+ 8MB	64MB + 64MB	152MB
	•	•	•	•
	•	•	•	•
	8MB	64MB+ 64MB	64MB + 64MB	264MB
The maximum RAM capacity is 264MB. The minimum recommended Ram configuration for this PowerPC upgrade is 24MB.     If you are upgrading from a 68040-based board (Centris 650, Quadra 650) you can easily transfer the SIMMs from your slower 68040-based logic board to the faster 7100 PowerPC logic board. If you do not have matching SIMM pairs, or if you want to upgrade the memory capacity, MicroMac has a variety of 72-pin SIMMs, including the 64MB BigSIMM available.     If you are upgrading from a 68030-based board (IIvi, IIvx, Performa 600) with 30-pin SIMMs, you can convert four 30-pin SIMMs with the MicroMac SIMMchanger into one 72-pin SIMM. If you want to upgrade the memory capacity, MicroMac has a variety of 72-pin SIMMs, including the 64MB BigSIMM available. (Notes: You may combine a SIMMchanger module with a standard 72-pin SIMM. Due to height limitations the SIMMchanger will only work if you do not have an internal CD ROM.) Level-2 Cache: MicroMac's 256KB Level-2 Cache card provides an additional speed boost. The Level-2 Cache card stores the most frequently used instructions and data close to the CPU, thus whenever the CPU needs to access these most frequently used data, the cache can deliver them significantly faster than the RAM. Video Connection: The 7100 PowerPC logic board outputs video on a high density 45-pin HDI45 connector. Some Apple A/V capable monitors plug directly into this HDI45 connector. If your monitor has the standard 15-pin DB connector, you need a video cable that converts the HDI45 connection to the DB15 connection. System and Tool Requirements: A flat-bladed, a Phillips screw driver and optionally an antistatic grounding strap. Upgrade Installation: The Installation consists of two steps: Preparation of the System software for the new PowerPC processor. Installation of the logic board and the chassis back panel. Prior to installing the MicroMac 7100 PowerPC Logic Board Trade-up you will need to update or reinstall the System OS 7.5.1 - 8.1 software so that it is compatible with the 7100 logic board, and your System software can boot from your new PowerPC based logic board.   Next, you open your Macintosh and remove the power supply and the drive tray with floppy drive, hard drive and CD-ROM. Your are left with the bottom chassis and the slower logic board. Now transfer the RAM from your existing logic board to the new logic board. You also may want to upgrade your RAM at this point of time. Then you install the drive tray with the drives onto the bottom chassis with the fast PowerPC logic board. Finally you reinsert the power supply and close your Macintosh. Time Requirement: About one hour and 30 minutes: 45 minutes are required for System software installation, 45 minutes are required for the hardware exchange of the logic board. MicroMac Delivers: MicroMac 601-based 7100 PowerPC logic board , 7100 bottom chassis.
