You are very right about most people not reading far enough to really
know what the issues etc are ;-)
I checked this out with some interest. If I'm correct selecting a
system bus speed on the Sonnet G4 800 is done by replacing the crystal
oscillator which is done by removing it from the board and replacing it
with another of a different speed. It is inside a small very small
metal can. This is done with a soldering iron shudder ;-)
Am I the only one who thinks only Mad Dog and Jeff W and one other guy
on this list are the only ones who take soldering irons to their
machines! In short this Sonnet upgrade is as clockable as the rest of
the line maybe less so. AS some Sonnet G3/4 have been clocked using
software hacks. Will S
