Macintosh Quadra 700: Support Issues


This article discusses some of the Quadra 700 support issues.

Processor Cooling
-----------------
The Quadra 700 is designed with special cooling considerations for the
68040. For the processor to cool properly, the case must be closed
whenever the Quadra 700 is running.

VRAM Bank Order
---------------
The VRAM banks must be populated in order. If there is a VRAM upgrade,
the SIMM slots should be populated from the back of the CPU to the front.

SIMM Slots
----------
The placement of the SIMM slots under the hard drive makes it unlikely
that vendors will be able to develop 16MB SIMMs to work on this computer.
