Your 7100 came with an HPV card, right? In order to use the HPV *and* a G3 accesserator, you're also going to have to have the HPV pass-through feature, which worked fine up to 280 MHz, but was problematical at 300 MHz and above. A good, fully-featured 24-bit card for NuBus Macs is the Supermac Spectrum Thunder/24. Required ROM 3.0 or 3.1 in order to support PPC. Lower will support 68K only. The Thunder is so much more flexible than the HPV that I automatically use the Thunder when upgrading my NuBus Macs. That way, I never have to get involved with the pass-through card and its limitations. -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
