In a recent posting, Jeff Walther wrote (regarding combo FireWire/USB cards in the c600 series): << The Sonnet Tango incorporates a firmware solution that solves problems which 6400/6500 machines have with PCI-PCI Bridges.

Very interesting, Jeff. I have a c600x/280 that I'm in the process of "reviving", and perhaps the Sonnet Firewire/USB card might be the way to "double up" on a single PCI slot. Do you offhand know if the CacheDoubler will be a factor in this? If so, I'll remove it. On a similar note: does the Sonnet ATA/100 PCI card *ALSO* work on the c600 models, without producing the objectionable "audio stuttering problem"? I tried an old ProMax TurboMax ATA/33 card in the c600x/280, but got bad "stuttering" from it (and then removed the card). I'd like to use the single IDE connector on the motherboard for an ATAPI CD-RW drive, and come up with some other solution for connecting a hard drive (may have to go SCSI if the ATA/PCI card path is unworkable in the c600 series).
