Hi again,
Well, I can only hope OWC get back to me ASAP - couldn't have
happened at a worse time, but thems the breaks. The 604 processor which has
gone back into the OS9.1 server seems to be running faster since I have had
the G3 card in that machine - totally bizarre, but very nice!
Ryan Rempel replied to me & said that version 2.2b3 of XPostFacto
may help people with booting problems - his reply to me:
