Indeed, the most dramatic case of 100bT NuBus actually accomplishing decent throughput is in a NuBus PPC Mac (6100/7100/8100/PowerComputing 120). I have an 8150/110 with a NewerTech G3/240 that shows a dramatic difference between built-in AAUI Ethernet, 10bT Asant� NuBus and the Sonic 100bT screamer. Another is in a Power Computing Power120 with a Sonnet G3 upgrade card installed. I only have two of them so (as you pointed out) after finding the improvement less-than-stellar in the 68k machines, I migrated them up to these PPC NuBus Macs.
So I should change my statement and say that I wish I had a 100bT NuBus card for each PPC NuBus Mac I have... Even running A/UX 3.1.1 with AppleShare Pro, I am not seeing any better than 800K/sec via 10bT. -- Paul/. 95 black 3000GT VR-4 98 VFR800F, TBR aluminum hi exit formerly reasonable and prudent on 10/30/02 5:02 PM, the pickle at [EMAIL PROTECTED] scribbled: > At 15:23 -0700 on 30/10/02, Desert Fox wrote: > >> I just wish I had a pile of the 100bT NuBus cards lying around.
