PowerTalk: Using With Power Macintosh Upgrade and 68K Mac (4/94)

Is it possible to install a Power Macintosh Upgrade Card and its software along with PowerTalk for Power Macintosh and utilize PowerTalk when using the 68040 processor instead of the PowerPC 601 processor?

Here are steps required to facilitate the proper installation and usage of PowerTalk under both 68K and Power Macintosh modes.

0) (OPTIONAL, but recommended) Install a clean version of System 7.1.
1) Install the Power Macintosh Upgrade Card Software.
2) Install System 7 Pro (Boot off the System 7 Pro Install Me First disk).
3) Install Rev. 2 of the PowerTalk for PowerMacintosh Software.
4) Restart.

All three steps are required to utilize PowerTalk features in 68K and Power Macintosh modes. Though the process is rather convoluted currently, the process will be smoothed out with the advent of System 7.5 later this year.
