Hello!

With our recent haul, Keith and I found the Daystar Turbo 601 card for the IIci.

It’s the 66Mhz version, but the card has no heat sink.

Any ideas for replacements, as well as testing tips? We have a IIci to test with.

Thanks!

IIRC, the heat sink has the same four clip holes surrounding the CPU chip as is found on the Apple PPC601 logic boards.

It won't be as gigantic, but I would grab one of those little square, cage-like heat sinks that Apple used on the X100 series and 7200s. I used to have a bunch of them, but seem to have lost track. I hope I did not leave htem in my desk drawer at the job I left in 2015...
