The Q610 "DOS Compatible" was released with a 68LC040, so not *all* Quadras
are full 040s. The monitor cable that comes with the Q610/DOS is so heavy,
it broke the solder-joints of the monitor port in back, and I was lucky
enough to get the logic board replaced with a full 68040 in mine under
warranty. I have since taken out the 486 processor, so I have exactly a
Q610 except it has the words "DOS Compatible" glued to my floppy drive.
(And for the record, it has on-board ethernet).
