Is that a clock chipped LCIII or something? Since the Mac handles the display
and other functions, its speed does impact IIe performance quite a bit.

A Q605 might be new enough that it won't run without 32 bit addressing. My
Q840av won't. Could be the same with other '040s like the Performa/LC 570
series.

Yep, 520 and 550 are totally plug 'n play swaps. The ports are different on
the 570s so it becomes more hack and fiddle.
