So much for sleep.
The Crescendo/7200 works in a 7500! It's like a really ghetto poor man's G3 upgrade for a 7500, but it works, DIMMs and all. It's all operative. Graphics appear to be accelerated too. Booted off a ZIP disk right now.

Wiping the hard drive now for a full OS 9 reinstall as the one on there was borked up.

Does the system recognize all the RAM both on the motherboard and on the upgrade?? You wouldn't happen to have a 6500 you could try that out on would you?

All RAM is recognized.

I have both a 6400 and a 6500 I can test it on.

Go for it. I have been meaning to do that experiment but don't have the time or money right now. I'd be glad to pass on the honor of being the first to run OS X on a 6500 just to know that it works.
