They've (AFAIK) been able to pin exactly what configs won't work. They kept telling me my G3 tower would work, and .... nope. No go. No way, no how. It too was a rev 3 rom, with a rev 2 Mobo (don't ask...It's a long story)
Just buy it from a reseller with a good return policy, and try. If at first you can't boot, your Mac is one it won't work in.

I have been watching this thread with interest. A year or so ago I put a Sonnet Tempo Trio on my stock Beige G3 Minitower (a 300Mhz Rev3 $77D.45F2) and never had a glitch. Always worked just fine.

Was I just lucky?

I'm thinking of getting a Sonnet Trio PCI card for my beige desktop, anyone have experience of using one?


Which Beige G3 do you have, and especially which revision, because the
Tempo Trio has some problems when installed in a Rev.C G3 (all 333MHz
and some 266MHz IIRC).

From the site http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_trio.html

"Beige Power Macintosh G3 Minitower and Desktop machines with a revision
3 logic board may experience incompatibility issues with the Trio card.
Sonnet is currently working to resolve this issue; check back here
periodically for updates. To determine your machine's logic board
revision, check the ROM revision information listed in Apple System
Profiler; if it is $77D.45F2, your machine has a revision 3 logic board."
