Heh. The pic MicroMac shows isn't even of a Quadra cache card. It's a Photoshop-doctored IIci cache card. The advertised-as-IIci cache card they picture is identical to the photo on the Quadra page.

Same with the FPU they show on their "FPU" page - it's not the same FPU that they sell. I know this because only *one* of the Macs they list as stocking an FPU for uses a PGA-style chip (pictured), and it certainly doesn't say "MicroMac FPU" on it :)

I'm not quite sure what the hell the picture of the supposed Q650 board is - that heatsink looks more like a PPC601's heatsink.

The picture they have of the "PowerPC L2 cache card" that is supposedly compatible with the 5400 and other PCI-based Macs is actually a card from an x100-series Mac and completely different :)

So I think the lesson to be learned here is that you can't trust MicroMac's pictures in the least.
