Editing Macintosh LC 630 (section)

== Known Issues & Solutions ==

=== Common Problems ===
* '''IDE compatibility''' – Older system software cannot format modern drives
* '''Video flicker''' – DRAM sharing causes screen artifacts
* '''Single IDE device''' – Cannot add slave drive
* '''SIMM limitations''' – Second slot restrictions confuse users
* '''DOS card conflicts''' – Some software incompatible with dual-processor setup

=== Reliability Concerns ===
* Surface-mount capacitors prone to leakage
* PRAM battery corrosion damages nearby components
* IDE controller less reliable than SCSI predecessors
* Passive cooling leads to heat accumulation
* Front panel buttons wear out with use

=== Performance Limitations ===
MacWorld benchmarks showed the Quadra 630 performed:
* Slightly slower than Quadra 950
* Notably slower than Quadra 650 and 800
* Video performance particularly weak
* IDE drive slower than SCSI equivalents
