Statistics for my upgrade cards (IIci, though I use a 840AV nowadays) - Sonnet presto 040: no - Daystar 030/50: no - Daystar 040/33: no And yes, the 840AV is a _lot_ faster than the 040/33 or 040/40 in a IIci that I used:-) I also had NetBSD up and running on it in only a few hours, > > It actually got a little weird on me while using it.

Not having a fan would be a > killer in that case too it's very badly vented. I only could find SCSI disc from a Proliant 1000 server. First generation 7200 rpm discs. They run so hot you can't touch them (hp c2490a or so) I run the 840AV on a table, with a table-fan blowing in it, till I can find some fans and do the necessary casemodding. (like chopping out some plastic around the drivebay, so it is easier to get airflow with the drives). Anybody have a 840AV netbooting? I've a linux pmac 7300 that could be NFS and bootp server. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
