Hi Mike, If you already have an XLR8 card at 366 MHz, you won't be able to use a UMAX processor. Even if you could find one, it must be specific for the 2nd slot; that is, it must face backwards so you can't take a UMAX processor made to run in the 1st slot and put it in the 2nd slot. I wouldn't want to face the result of putting a second Umax card, which you might be able to find on eBay in with your XLR8 card(-: Eric -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
