I believe it is a Rev C. Has this person contacted Sonnet with this information? My impression from the dealings I've had with Sonnet support is that there seems to be more than one cause for this problem, and they were hampered by not having a system in-house that manifested all the symptoms. Hard to debug something you can't reproduce...I was told it wans't until late december that their firmware person got a system to play with that was not working with the card. I did get asked for a specific list of items to look for on my motherboard, including the rev number of some ASIC's on board. This made it sound like they had some idea of where to look. That said, I have a USB card to use with my camera, the IDE on my G3, though slow, will work with my disks and I don't have any firewire devices, so I can afford to wait for them to fix it. When it worked it was very nice indeed. -- 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...
