The NewerTech cards, however, have been very good, although the fastest ones ... 300 MHz and faster ... can be very problematical with the "pass-through" for HPV video, hence I tend to use those with Supermac Spectrum/24 video cards, particularly on the 9150 where the pass-through won't work, anyway, due to mechanical interference. Cache chip failures are somewhat uncommon, but do occur. The NewerTech cards are such a good performance boost I can't imagine operating a 7100/8100/9150 without one of these cards. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Vintage Macs group.
