On a big auction site I stumbled across item #324674483177, which appears to be an original part from a Motorola StarMax 3000/240. It is a PCI riser card with 5 slots. Given the similarity of the StarMax 3000/240 and the PowerMac 4400 and PowerMac 7220, it might be possible to use the riser board from the StarMax in one of the PowerMacs (at least with an open case ;-) like a convertible). I will not try to buy that riser card, as I have none of the computers it is meant for. I just thought it might be interesting for someone trying to max out an already maxed out PM4400 (think of Hellcats with a cockpit view across multiple screens and Ethernet and SCSI-II and still something else left to choose from to populate a free PC slot…). Reports on actual mileage are always welcome.
