Does yours have a metal extension to bring it up to full Apple height? The Newertech G3 cards were intentionally made short so as to fit in the clones, yet these cards were shipped with a black metal extension which brought them up to Apple (really, IBM) standard height. A typical board is marked "<LOGO>/newer tech/BOTTOM/DT351 REV C/NEWER TECHNOLOGY" on the bottom, and "<LOGO>/newer tech/NEWER TECHNOLOGY/DT351C/TOP SIDE" on the top. Each board has a serial number sticker and a model/speed sticker applied to it. An example of the model/speed sticker is "DT 351/I250/125". This is a 250 MHz G3 with a 125 MHz backside cache. If your card stated "DT 351/I333/166", then it would be a 333 MHz G3 with a 166 MHz backside cache. A 3.5 clock multiplier would be required, in which case the actual bus speed would be 47.4 MHz. Most NewerTech cards run the bus a few MHz under the speed at which Apple runs theirs, so 46-47 MHz on a 50 MHz bus machine is not unusual. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
