I didnt realise the G3 was pin comptatible with the G3.

That's interesting. If it worked it wuld be impressive, but I wouldn't expect a huge speed increase - even the 603 is held back by the memory bus on the blizzardPPC. You could probably clock it to 300MHz using 60MHz / x5 multiplier.

Hardware aside, under warpos, you'd probably need to roll your own warpHW.library for it too - pin/voltage compatible or not, the supervisor model of the chip probably isn't going to be the same.

Its not impossible that the supervisor mode was compatible - just unusual.

There was a guy who got a 300MHz 603e from an old powermac on his card. Im not sure but it might have been that Ponos2D feller (haven't seen him for *ages*)...
