(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. There's a fellow on the Apple Discussion boards who's convinced that the Trio does not work with the Rev. C ROM. He has a variety of Beige G3s and he says he tried the Trio in each of them with each of the ROMs and the motherboard revision didn't seem to matter but the ROM revision did. So if his testing is accurate and complete, the Tempo Trio has an issue with the Rev. C ROM. Does your Beige G3 report $77D.45F2 in Apple System Profiler as the ROM Revision?
