The speed of the G3 upgrade is probably 8X whatever the bus speed of the host Macintosh is.

So, in an 8100/110, it should be 110/3 = 36.667; 36.667 X 8 = 293.33 MHz.

Although, perhaps NewerTech built slower versions that didn't use the maximum 8X multiplier. Could be 6X I suppose, at: 36.667 X 6 = 220 MHz.

IIRC, xlr8yourmac.com had pretty extensive coverage of these cards as they came out. You might check the archives of articles and daily news items over there.

I would trust GaugePro. It was written by the folks at NewerTech.

Interesting about the drivers. I wonder what that NuPower driver was meant for. It sure seems like 'Nu' should be for NuBus, but I guess not.
