Well, as he said, it would run on the regular firmware instead of requiring software to run. Are there problems when attempting to boot up from a volume that doesn't have the special software installed on it? For example, a system installer CD?
I'm not exactly sure how it works... the only accelerator I've ever owned was a Radius 25 MHz 68020 for an SE PDS slot, and somehow it managed to always work even if I didn't have the drivers installed on the startup disk. Maybe it was part of the processor's firmware or ROM or something. Which makes me think... perhaps other accelerators require you to send you original card in, so they can upgrade the firmware to work with the new processor that they put on the original card? In that case, having an entire daughtercard replacement would be a big advantage because you wouldn't have to send anything in. Anyway, I'm not quite sure what I'm talking about so anyone, feel free to correct me on any points. > What will be the advantage of your upgrade to that of Sonnet or > PowerLogix? > > Byron > > On Thursday, January 30, 2003, at 03:00 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> FWIW, we're going to be releasing a 500mhz G3 card for the Wallstreet >> within >> 15 days, which will NOT require any software to run, as it runs on the >> original apple firmware.
