SuperMac C500/600 Upgrades
The C500 and C600 are unique among Macintosh clones. They were the first clones to use a ZIF socket for easy processor replacement. Umax made processors in speeds from 140 to 280 MHz, as well as the Cache Doubler, which provides a double-speed (80 MHz) level 2 cache.
Both the C500 and C600 are designed around a 40 MHz motherboard, limiting maximum CPU speed compared with machines such as the J700 and S900 that used Apple's daughter card socket with a 50 MHz bus.
