Hi all,
I have a PowerCenter 132 I'd like to install a used NewerTech Maxpowr
G3 225MHz accelerator into. After much frustration looking through the
search results via Google the two silly questions I have are:
1. What settings on the DIP switches
2. I'm running 9.1 what drivers will I need?
1. What settings on the DIP switches
All up.
2. I'm running 9.1 what drivers will I need?
You will need the MaxPowr INIT in order to properly set the cache mode.
Remove the motherboard's cache card.

OWC's web site has also been less than helpful in both
regards.
Thanks in advance.

I have two NewerTech Maxpowr G3-PDS accelerator
Mike N,
I have a PowerCenter 132...
That's a PCI-based Power Mac clone, I believe. You can ask here, but you
may have more luck on the PCI Power Macs list. I know all about the
Nubus NewerTech accelerator, but not much about the PCI versions.

D'oh!
I need to learn how to read better me thinks.
Card is in and the machine boots up just fine. System profiler says PPC
604e @ 241 MHz. Is that right? Is the card not a G3?
No, should still say G3.
Even a NewerTech G3 card with a defective backside cache is seen as a G3,
although the MaxPowr INIT will crash the machine because that cache

The NuBus NewerTech accelerator, which has NO DIP switches, requires a
PDS slot.
Some models offer HPV Pass-through, which actually works for more than
just the HPV card.
These are rock-solid below 300
