Nope. NewerTech upgrades are especially picky about RAM because Newer never fully understood the purpose and proper use of the bus speed bit. Apple didn't tell them how to use it since they weren't paying for the information, so Newer had to guess, and they repeatedly guessed wrong. Umax was paying for such information, by virtue of their Mac OS license, so our engineers knew what it was and how to use it. Consequently, Umax's own G3 upgrade design (which was sold to MacTell for a paltry sum) worked great right out of the gate, without the memory spec constraints. Contractually, Umax couldn't share the info with Newer (or anyone else who wasn't covered by the same license). The furthest our engineers dared to go was to keep telling Newer "You got it wrong again." -Kennedy SuperMac Insider (http://home.earthlink.net/~supermac_insider/) -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
