I am pretty sure I saw those (166 MHz cards) advertised in MacWorld, circa 1996/1997, but I wasn't 100% sure when I posted my info, so I thought I'd better stick to what I'm certain of. If anyone made those, it was NewerTECH. They had plans to even make G3 upgrades for the 500 series, but those were foiled by the fact that Apple had ordered the moulds for the (custom) connector used to connect the CPU (and RAM) board to the motherboard (more of a backplane, really) destroyed, because the seemingly endless upgrade potential of the 500 series was becoming a threat to their PowerBook sales. ,xtG .tsooJ -- /~\ The ASCII Ribbon Campaign: \ / - No HTML/RTF in email X - No Word docs in email / \ - Respect for open standards -- Joost van de Griek <http://www.jvdg.net/> -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
