Look at the XLR8yourmac site again, it covers a wide range of upgrades. You can get: Video upgrades: ATI makes the Radeon 7000, you can hack old VooDoo cards, and there are a variety of older video cards made for them. Ethernet cards: There are 10/100 cards made today that work. Asante and D-Link, iirc make some. USB 1.1 cards: Any OHCI-compliant USB card will work on a Mac. Wireless cards: Most of the 802.11B PCI adapters will work with PCI macs with the right drivers. Firewire card: there are a bunch of PCI firewire adapters on the market, ATA card: There are a bunch of ATA cards so you can use cheaper, faster IDE devices on your mac. SCSI: there are both UW and regular SCSI cards that work with them, allowinf fast SCSI drives to be used. There are multifunction ones, like the Sonnet Trio: it has a dual channel ATA/133 controller, two firewire poorts and two USB 1.1/2.0 ports on it. There are video capture cards you can put in there; I just set up an old 7300 last week here interfacing a camera and a gel reader. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
