Not to get into a brand war (we use some Newer cards too), but we've had
very good experiences with Sonnet cards. They tend to be less expensive
than
Newer's, not to mention the fact that they had Mac OS 9 support several
months before Newer.

We have had good luck with Sonnet cards also.  My main home machine had
a Sonnet card and it always worked well. That machine is now running my
FileMaker Pro server without problems.

Re: Mac CPU upgrades?

but why would anybody want a G3 upgrade card from a company other than
Newer Tech

 Hi Al,
 
 A little over a year ago, there was a data corruption issue with G3 upgrade
 cards from companies *other* than Newer Tech. Since then, software upgrades
 from those companies corrected the problem.
 
 For more specific information, we have a tech note on our website:

  I seem to remember that there were/are issues with hardware accelerators and
  Retrospect. I'm considering upgrading my beige G3/266DT with a Sonnet ZIF
  G3/500 CPU - so it is pretty much a case of 'just drop it in and reboot'.
 
  I've just been for a surf over to www.dantz.com, and have had no joy finding
  information on the subject.
 
  Can someone update me on the issues?
 
  FWIW: we are using Retro 4.2 to back up an iBook (via ethernet), and the G3
  primary HD, to an extra internal HD installed in the G3. Both run OS 9.0.4.
