i love fun projects like this where there's not much practical use, but it works. a lot of people generally dismiss the fun stuff... ugh! very nice work, would love to see it open sourced if possible.

Nearly a couple months back, I won an auction on YAJP for a Macintosh Performa 5210 with a keyboard, mouse, and its original sofware discs it came with. Problem? With sendico, I had to use FedEx to ship it as I didn't have other viable options at the time, and I was told surface mail was not...

I'm glad someone pointed this out. I was kinda skeptical about these eBay 40MHz chips... I sold a fellow member a genuine 33MHz 68040 not too long ago.
