The trio card ran quite happily in my 7600. (I had one slot taken with my ATI card, one with a USB card and wanted an ATA card, figured the Firewire would come along for free.) I had numerous problem with OSX that were fixed completely by the latest firmware upgrade on Sonnet's web site. Alas, there's a bug on the card that's preventing it from working in my Beige G3. (Limited to an unknown number of Gossamer systems, according to Sonnet) They're working on it (I got a test patch the other day from them the other day) but it's not solved, at least in my case yet. -- 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...
