[What I am] FORMAC ProG3 366-44

[lazaj]

Hello,

I found this board in a pile of macintosh hardware that I bought long time ago.

It seems to be a CPU upgrade card for PCI Macintosh.

I can't find information about it.

Does anyone on this forum have any information ?

ProG3 366-44 Carrier

Made in Germany by Formac

Partnumber : PAG310-2

SERIAL NR: 9111720003

It is for all intents a competitor to the XLR8 MACH Carrier ZIF card, and a nice one at that enabling you to install any ZIF G3 CPU or possibly G4 CPUs.

Software and possibly DIP switch settings are here:

Might've already thought of it, but you'll definitely want a heatsink for it. That ZIF slot on the card appears to use the typical mounting solution that the PowerMac G3 used...

Yes, I have the heatsink, I removed it to better identify the card.

Sadly I don't have a compatible Mac to test if this card works ...
