It has a nice home in my 6100 now. However, the 6100 is such a heat trap it freezes about after 2 hours due to the heat.

Time for a fan I guess. I have a Pentium 1 Size fan that I could wedge in there.

Oddly, the sonnet does not have a G3/300 sticker on it. It just says Sonnet Tech 1998.

 
My Sonnet NuBus G3/240 certainly overheated. I bought it brand new and ended up sending it back for another one because it became such a problem with freezing.

Once I got the new one, I removed the expansion cover on the back and installed a little fan which I ran off of the CD-ROM power connector. It has worked fine since. I highly recommend at least removing the expansion cover if you don't have the AV card.

 
I understand the later (faster) Sonnet G3s ran quite a bit cooler, ironically
