. . . it's not an earth shattering conquest . . .

. . . but I finally snagged the NewerTech MAXpowr MXP6100 Apple G3 266 Upgrade PM 6100 for which I've made repeated offers. :ii:

We need a PizzaBox icon! )

Very nice. I hope you have a unit to put it in.

I have a Sonnet G3 250mhz/512k L2 that someone gave me (purple heatsink) but no nubus PowerMac to test it in!

I have a 400MHz G3 in my SR-7100.

Yup, a 6100/60, I've got low profile Sonnet Cards too, but I wonder if they're 6100 friendly? :-/

Somebody still has a 7100 awaiting shipment to you for testing it!

Anybody got a spare 6100 Foot? :?:

It came today, I unwrapped it just now and it's bedtime . . . at least I'm too tired to search! :

Does anyone have a loink to the drivers for these cards, assuming they need drivers like the Sonnet and Radius Cards I've alway stuck to. This is a nicely designed card, maybe I'll check out some more NewerTech Accelerator Cards!

Model: MAXpowr MXP6100

I may have found the correct drivers on the correct site, but any advice on using NewerTech Accelerators would be greatly appreciated!

Erm... That post is 13 years old.

My bad, I didn't notice the date, I just randomly found this page on a goolge seach.

Wow, didn't realize the project was quite THAT old! Worked on it a bit last year, turbocharging the cooling system for using the HPV card with the G3 card:

6100/G3/HPV Turbo Cooler Hack

Been very slowly putting together my maxed out 6100 and this little goodie arrived yesterday: Hole saw mod to plastic chassis required as well as ductwork underneath to funnel entire clipped corner square vent grid into the intake of the blower. May fab it as five sided pyramid with plans...

13 years between the original and the sequel? If it's good enough for Avatar...
