Proxim may list 7.6.1 but the Farralon-era documentation states 8.1.  You might be better off getting a cheap RTL8169S card like this one.

There is an audio connector on the motherboard of the Q950 for CD audio cable.

That is a very cool card indeed. Perfect march for a SE/30 + Pivot setup.

Good thing you have lots and lots of choices! 

WHAAAA?! @Franklinstein You are awesome! I had no idea that was there. I think the "03-slot" threw my searches off. Again thank you!

The only thing I was able to find was this picture from a past sale cached on WorthPoint (Looks like an Old StarMax)  I doubt I will ever track one of these 3-Slot Risers down unless I get a whole StarMax and at that point, one has to ask... is it worth it all this effort?

I have been looking for those, and cant seem to find any. Found 5 slot-ers, but not 3 slot-ers. 

If you ever wondered about the strange Snooper NuBus card by MAXA...   You can download the complete manuals on Archive.org.

Besides VRAM & RAM, you have a cache slot and a rom slot. 

Awesome tips! There were some reviews that had complaints about lack of 21v support, but for my purposes I only have some SuperMacs and a few DayStars to update. so the plus model might be adequate. 

Correct, NuBus PowerMacs need the 3.0 firmware. There was a guy on Amibay selling Spectrum/24 firmware roms a few years back and that was version 3.1 I have a couple of Thunders that need their firmwares updated. Is this a good all-around programer to get? Oh and thanks @Bolle for putting them up.

Basic goop would do the basic trick. Its cheap and functional. Worst case, if you think its too hot, just use something else.  I use the premium stuff on my modern Macs (just re-did some 2012 minis), so I have Kyronaut to spare. I have yet to get a graphite pads. 

Bingo! Most people apply way too much and forget the conductive nature.  Looking forward to the naked Sonnet pictures now.

Mid 90s Apple was all over the map when it comes to heat management, so it is not surprising they went with a thermal pad.  This pad has been on my amazon shopping list for a while. If you do use a pad again, let us know what you used. 

The thermal paste has completely dried up, you can gently rotate the heatsink left and right to loosen, but don't pull. Once It is off, then you can clean it up and apply some new paste. I have thought about reapplying paste to my Sonnet CPU upgrades lately as two decades later, they are...

If you are worried about heat, you can always put on fresh thermal paste for better heat dispersion, and even put a little strip of kapton tape to separate the board from the cache.  Your project is making me want to dig out my PC PCI cards from storage to install in my 4400. Well if/when I...

Sweet haul! The IBM brace is the best part!  8)

You have 8.6 on the 4400 and 9.2 on the G3MT, so you can have the best of both worlds. My Beige G3 is primary used as a bridge machine where I make floppies off images, burn CDs, etc.  

I don't recall the exact part numbers but I extracted mine off an old ATI PCI card, but you will find numerous  FPM are readily available, this should do the trick : https://www.ebay.com/itm/192472059043

Very nice! That L2 is a thing of beauty!  You are going to end up on a hunt for quite a few upgrades soon, as that G3 be made into a nice classic beast. You can also find the Vram upgrade chips for the PC Card on eBay.
