The 85/8600 all have three slots, the only machines with 6 were the Umax S900, the Daystar line, the PowerComputing PowerCenterPro (I think that's the one) and the 9500/9600 machines. With the exception of the Umax S900, none of the bottom three slots will work with a G4 card, something with the second Bandit chip (the PCI controller(?)) causing issues. The S900 doesn't have a second Bandit chip, but it has it's own set of problems. XLR8 did make a card that was supposed to somehow work a round the hardware issue and enable the other three slots, I don't know much, but you'll notice that the XLR8 CarrierZif cards have a moniker after them. The MPe version is G4 multi-processor ready, but they never made the dual processor ZIF for it. The SSE version of the card is teh SixSlotEnabled (Edition?), it is for the 9500/9600 machines, and probably the other clones. -Rob (a.k.k The Long [winded] Poster -Hi Ho Silver!) -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
