The only stuff I found was: (http://www.sonnettech.com/) http://www.sonnettech.com/product/presto_ppc.html PowerPC Upgrade for Quadra (610*, 650, 700, 800, 900, 950) & Centris (610, 650*) models: PRESTO PPC 100Mhz 601 PowerPC ICPU Upgrade, 1Mb L2 cache - $389 *required PPC adapter for these models: $49 http://www.sonnettech.com/product/quaddoubler.html For the Centris 610, 650 & 660AV; Quadra 610, 660AV, 700 & 900; and Workgroup Server 60/20 & 60/25. Plug the Sonnet QuadDoubler into a Quadra or Centris and double your computer's speed. The QuadDoubler includes a Floating Point Unit for super-fast rendering or calculations and is Mac OS 8.1 compatible. Fast 100/50 MHz 68040 Processor with FPU The Sonnet QuadDoubler processor upgrade card card uses a high-quality Motorola 100/50 MHz 68040 processor to ensure maximum reliability and compatibility. This super-fast processor upgrade card includes an integrated FPU math coprocessor for ultimate performance in spreadsheets, graphic applications, web browsing and complex mathematical calculations. A lower cost 80/40 MHz 68040 processor is used in the QuadDoubler for the Centris 610 and Workgroup Server 60/20. --- But I guess, eventually somebody will build a G3 for 68k Nubus Macs...
