Drat! This may turn out to be the case, but it doesn't really matter. :disapprove:
The OP mentioned making a "roll your own" Sonnet CrescendoPB, which wouldn't be the case even if the processor on a 1400 Processor Card could be replaced with a G3. The thing that makes my CrescendoPB G3/466 1M a much faster solution is the 1M part. Without the large cache, a "roll your own" version couldn't keep up with the "real deal" at all.
As an aside: I'm very disappointed with the item I received from eBay!
Instead of a 1400c/166 w/G3, I received a 1400cs/117 (no cache) and what TechTool Pro confirms is the vanilla, cacheless 603e/117 Processor Card. I've contacted the seller, hopefully it was an honest mistake and I'll receive the "real deal" or, at the very least, the much more capable 1400c/166 in exchange.
We'll see! :
