Finished my "SR-7100" 's upgrade with the HPV adaptor card I got and the AV-HPV card I stole from a donor parts 7100av. It now has a G3/400/1M, 136MB RAM, 12x CD-ROM and the AV-HPV card. This is a step up from the G3/233 and Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24XP I was using before. (No, the 24XP is not for sale.)
Installing the Sonnet HPV card adaptor is a royal PITA. I cut my hands on the board trying to get that ruddy flex cable to connect, and it really takes up valuable NuBus real estate, but the performance boost is worth it.
The SR-7100's main job is acting as the OS 9 server for the network. This right now just does AppleShare for the old EtherTalk and LocalTalk systems, including the 486 PC, whose only network card is a LocalTalk ISA board and shares files that way. It was easier than getting ISA Ethernet running, actually ...
Eventually it will take over the LocalTalk backbone from the Dayna box that runs it now so I can start tunneling MacIP.
