RARE - Working Vintage 66MHz Daystar Apple PowerPC Upgrade PPC 601 APMPU 68040 LC PDS. Shipped with Standard Shipping (either USPS Priority or FedEx) and it will be insured which is why shipping costs what it does. This plugs into your 68040 socket and upgrades your vintage Mac to a 66MHz PowerPC 601. Google the APMPU and read up on its requirements. Based on what I read at low end Mac:-Requires “fat” System 7.5 to 8.1 to support both 68040 and PowerPC 601 CPUs
-Requires Daystar... or Apple “Power Macintosh Card” control panel
-CPU: 66 MHz PowerPC 601
-50 MHz in LC 475, Performa 475-476, and Quadra 605
-66 MHz in 33 MHz models
-L2 cache: 256 KBThis has been tested working in a Mystic Color Classic (LC 575 board). Works with or without 68040 CPU present. Previous owner replaced a capacitor and repaired a pin but otherwise in great condition, works perfectly in my testing, no issues identified. Guaranteed not to be DOA.Not quite as rare as the 100MHz variant but this is pretty hard to find which is why opening bid and buy it now is what it is. As with all my vintage computing items, this item is being sold as-is and without warranty -- no returns or refunds but I will guarantee this not to be DOA.Thanks.
