ArmorAlley Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 This is a picture from an auction I am interested in. What is the card on the motherboard? The seller happens to have the box of a Sonnet L2/G3 on offer with the Colour Classic but this can't be that. That would make the motherboard one from an early PCI Powermac (like a 5400). Could it be a Sonnet 040 card? What do ye think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

68kMLA Supporter jessenator Posted December 1, 2020 68kMLA Supporter Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) I had never heard of this upgrade till today (at least not what it was—thought the Presto Plus was something else…). I guess sonnet knew what they were doing (if there was any doubt) https://everymac.com/upgrade_cards/sonnettech/presto/presto_plus.html https://www.sonnettech.com/support/downloads/manuals/presto_plus_install.pdf 040, RAM, and 10baseT all on one compact LCPDS card. Amazing. Edited December 1, 2020 by jessenator Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pcamen Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 That's a nice upgrade. The only thing missing is a video card. I have CC with a 575 board in it (Mystic) with a com slot ethernet card, and managed to get a Radius pivot LC card in it. Now if I could only get it to work again.

ArmorAlley Posted December 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Thanks very much everybody. According to the seller, the CC doesn't seem to work, but, even still, it does look enticing. And it's only at CHF54 at the moment, with 2 active bidders and a week still to go.
