I have the 333Mhz version and it works like an absolute charm on my Umax S900. I too had the question you had: If its a ZIF, what else can it support? I don't know the answer to this but I am willing to bet that most pin compatible G3 upgrade chips should work nicely. The only issue is the software driver to regulate the overall speed. I don't think there is any support for it anymore so without it, the card would would most likely default to its fastest speed which may not be desirable because it could lead to stability issues.

Hi Listers,
One of the final pieces of my homemade "X-box" came in the mail
yesterday--A MaxPowr 400 MHz G3 Daughtercard. I popped it in, and
restarted and all was faster. Previously I had a 225 MHz 604e pulled from
an older 9600 that I had gotten on eBay on the cheap. About a year ago I
had placed 10.1 on there and it was nearly acceptable speedwise. I am
looking forward to Jag on this. I just need an ATA card (anyone have one?)
and I will be on my way.
My questions:
Does anyone have experience with these cards? Are they ZIF-based? Mine
has a lever on the side of the socket and a bail over the heatsink. There
is a 400 MHz processor chip in there now? If it is a ZIF, what can the
card support later on? I got the card for less than $60, but got no
drivers or manuals. Does anyone have a PDF of the manual somewhere?
NewerTech's or OWC's site is not much help with documentation.
Anyone have experience with a Voodoo3 card in one of the PCI slots? I have
a Voodoo3 card installed in the first slot. It works wonderfully under 9.1
with the beta drivers. Myth II plays great! I have read that I need to
remove the card during the install and put it back in after all is done. I
know that it was not supported under 10 or 10.1. I am wondering if Jag is
more tolerant.
I am eyeing the ATI Radeon Mac Edition for PCI on eBay. Anyone got one of
these in their boxes? Do I need to updated to 9.2.x?
Thanks, folks...You were a great help last time when I tried this under 10.1.
