[geeks] Cool Mac deals...

[Zach Malone]

I know it used IDE, etc., but the Quadra 630 I used to own had an option in
the control panels to boot up from an 040, or a 601.  Did Apple provide
boards with both processors, or are you mistaken? (Wish I still had that
machine now so I could pop it open and take pics)
