No. >> There are jumper switches on the card itself. >> Yes, four of them. >> Where would I find information on setting the jumpers? >> If you bought the card new, an addendum was provided which described TWO of the possible SIXTEEN settings. The two documended settings are: 1) non-Mach mode, and 2) Mach5 mode. As your machine is non-Mach5, leave the dip switches alone. >> Will adjusting the jumpers increase the bus speed? >> Yes, but this fact is not documented anywhere. >> Also, what is the ideal bus speed for an 8500? >> With the NewerTech cards, "what you get is what you get". It is usually 46+ or 47+ MHz. The machine will run at 50 MHz with a gen-u-wine Apple peocessor card, under some circcumstances, but not with most third-party G3 processor cards with integral G3 chips. However, just as with every Mac which uses a single oscillator and a PLL plus a "clock multiplier", the bus speed will vary with the processor speed, and will always be 50 MHz or less. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
