Yes, it may be a bit tricky to do the right settings in MM, as it is in german. Once you have installed Jinnee, it's all in english, tho. And J has much better options for settings than MM.
Jinne has some supercool features. You can run MAC programs from the MM/J desktop, and shared Appletalk folder also works in MM/Jinnee. On my Q800, I run MagiC on the main screen and a MAC-browser on the second monitor, and can DL stuff right into a shared folder in MM... :)

But building a new computer from scratch does not?

Which OS is it? You should run 8.1 on a Q840.

Hmm, You could try an ad on ebay, or why not in the 'emulation' forum here at A.O?

Oh, for a guy able to build a new MOBO,
swapping an osc should be a peace of cake! (c;
The Q650 runs at 33MHZ, and the max you can give it is appr 48MHZ. It may use a 16.5MHZ osc, and in that case you chunk in a 24MHZ osc to have it run at 48.

on a computer engineer's carieer!!
