So, I'm looking for a little clarity if there is any regarding the compatibility of the L2 version of the Sonnet Crescendo G3 upgrade. From what I've seen, most all will work on 64/54/65/5500 and similar-arch Macs/clones without issues. The oddballs are the LPX-40/Tanzania-based Macs/clones which needed specific models... is there rhyme or reason beyond the packaging/labeling to designate whether one of these is compatible with a 4400??
I don't want to keep jerking around people I'm trying to trade with over the wrong specs/numbers/literature...*
Here's where I'm coming from:
Currently on ebay (as of this writing) there is a 300 Mhz version, with this bit in the accompanying literature (btw, I messaged them, and there is no standard part # label on that card...):
========================================================================================
However, I recently went back through my imgur archive and found this on a card I knew to be working in my 4400 (box label, and card):
=======================================================================
After I had to sadly let that one go, I found a 500, which worked with a cocktail of system folder pieces (no box label with this one, and I also sadly had to let this one go): I must've just gotten lucky with this. It worked right out of the box at 400 MHz on my 4400 and required the system folder additions to work at 500 MHz (StarMax board).
===========================================================================
And now my current one, *which I'm offering to trade for a 400 MHz model, does not work on any of my LPX-40 boards, regardless of the drivers, which has my head scratching:
Well, this seems to be a revision thing? Or is it still dependent on what label is on the box?
Is there anyone here who can shed some light on which models/revisions are compatible with the 4400/LPX-40/Tanzania architecture?
Thanks
