I have two NewerTech Maxpowr G3-PDS accelerator cards intended for the PDS slot of a NuBus PowerMac 6100/7100/8100. One is 300 MHz (bought new) and the other is an earlier 210 MHz model (bought used). 1. Neither of these cards has DIP switches that I can see and I've never had any need to set switches when installing them in my 6100s. The instruction books are different, but neither says a word about DIP switches. So I'm puzzled by your first question. 2. I normally run my 6100 under OS 7.6.1 with the 300 MHz card, but I have an OS 9.1 partition on an external hard disc and occasionally start up with OS 9.1. I installed the same driver (supplied by NewerTech) in both System Folders with the same options. The accelerator works equally well either way. If this does not answer your questions, you might try Mosaic Computing: <http://www.MosaicComputing.com/newertech/> which once had a mirror of the NewerTech site. Their website no longer seems to have that mirror, but perhaps they can help you. A self-help website to check is <http://xlr8yourmac.com/>, especially the appropriate forums.
