Quato lightning PCI

[stynx]

I have recently bought a IMS TwinTurbo 128M8 which has a 64bit PCI connector.
The ROM has a label with lightning PCI version 1.1 on it. Some research gave me the info that the card is actually named the
"Quato lightning PCI". Some further result gave me the following review in the german magazine "Macwelt" September 96, page 44:

2000,- Mark (1996) => ca. $2500 today


The card is recognized in a beige PowerMac G3 and works normally. In the 64bit socket of a B&W Power Mac G3, it is not recognized as a Twin Turbo and the Rom does not load.

Is this normal behavior?

Here is the Rom-file (version 1.1)

Interesting - I've not seen that one before.

Not sure why It doesn't work in a 64bit slot. Does it work in the 32bit slot in the B&W G3?

The card work now in the 64bit slot in the B&W G3. It was most likely a contact issue with the ROM. Taking it out to make a copy and reinserting it was seemingly enough to fix the problem.
