Hi there: The following has turned up on eBay:
MACTELL 280MHZ POWERPC G3 PROCESSOR UPGR MAC

Serious Octane! the G-MAX Processor Upgrade for up to 450% Performance
increase. Your UMAX (C600/C500) or Apus 2000/3000 was a cost-effective 
way
to run MacOS, but can't keep you up with the big horses in this year's 
G3s?
The G3 G-MAX is the first and only processor replacement system for 
your
UMAX/Apus based computer. Performance gains of up to 450% are 
attainable
without the expense of a new system, software or memory. Other like 
products
try to achieve same performance through a on-board cache slot adaptor 
but
the G-MAX is the only card on the market to replace the PPC were it was
designed to be, simple socket 7 upgradeability. Gains like these are
possible thanks to a PowerPC 280MHz/320Mhz and 1024K of Cache. 
Information
caches on the backside prevent bottlenecks and conflicts. Commands to 
the
Central Processing Unit are handled independently. Your system achieves
maximum speed and performance potential with this single upgrade.



Anybody know anything about it? I'm using a 240 MHz C500 and 8.6 with 
144 MB
RAM. As always, I appreciate your help!

	This is the original G3 Zif upgrade for the C500/600 machines. Made 
under license from Umax.  If the price is right go for it before 
someone else does. They are getting hard to find. However the L2 G3 
upgrades are fine if your not planning on running OSX on your machine.
