Hi,

I bought a beige Power Mac G3 mini tower. It has a G4 400 Mhz processor installed instead of the original G3.

The replacement is from a company called Metabox (went out of business long ago). I read it is basically the same as Sonnet's Encore/ZIF G4 or Daystar's XLR8 MACh Speed G4 ZIF upgrades and that one can use the respective software to control the accelerator.

Here is a list of these upgrades: http://www.everymac.com/upgrade_cards/by_system/powermac_g3.html

I have been looking for control software (like Daystar's XLR8 MACh Speed Control) but had no luck so far.

Any hints are appreciated.

Best, bobo68
