"I recently upgraded my 1400 with a Sonnet G3 and I believe was running 8.6. I did
not experience any problems."
90% will experience no problems whatsoever with a G3 upgrade for the 1400, and I am
assuming that the American OS 8.6 is fine. But there are Danes, Finns, French,
Germans, Australians, British, Swedes, Dutch and Japanese (Did I leave anyone out?)
also on this list and those OS's might be affected on some 1400's. If it's your 1400,
however, it is 100% for you, and Sonnet has not publicized this quirk at all.
According to them, it is an issue with any G3 card, so they blame Apple, somewhat like
Goodyear expecting Volkswagen to manufacture cars to match their tires. A simple
notice on Sonnet's website would have been extremely helpful, just as most vendors
tell you beforehand the screws won't fit the newer, larger HD's, but not to worry.
This should not discourage anyone from purchasing the G3 upgrade if you wish. Simply
know that if you or someone you know experiences the problems I described, the answer
is to go to 9.1 or down to 8.5 so you will not go through the three weeks of computer
hell that I did.
