8600/250 or faster has a 50 MHz bus and no motherboard cache. Mach 5.
The first two require that the cache card be removed from the
motherboard, and that the MaxPowr card be set for non-Mach 5
operation.
All switches down.
I have the MaxPowr G3 500/1M in a PowerTower Pro, which is in the same
family as the 8600, running with a 50 MHz bus speed.
Maybe same family as the 8600, but the PTP is actually more closely
related to the 9500. A MaxPowr G3 that runs fine in your PTP may have
"issues" with the 8600, especially with the Kansas mobos in the Mach V
versions (250 MHz+). I've owned a couple of 8600/300's and they seemed
a bit picky when it came to G3 upgrades. Don't recall which G3's it
did or didn't like, but I can say from experience that there's no
guarantee of 100% compatibility when it comes to daughtercard G3
upgrades in the Kansas 8600.
