Well, OS9 runs fine, though a bit slow on the display front. RAM limits mean out of memory flags pop up a lot (I don't like to run virtual memory because of severe speed hits). Never tried OS X, not even sure if it can be done on a NUBUS machine. Certainly doesn't seem like it would be worth the effort. >Anyone out there running one of these cards, how is your system doing? Is >it a big improvement over the non-upgraded 7100? I have had several 7100s with different Sonnet cards. The speed increase is MAJOR, particularly if you stick with OS 8.6 or so. >Are there any web links with this type of info? Probably, but I don't have any handy. >Thanks, Guy Ken -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
