Interesting, did you get the 6500 new?
I got a refurb 6360 with the sole intent of Sonnetizing the critter as soon as the funds became available to do so. It was my main workstation until the 466 DA and has seen Plotter Server duty ever since, along with playing movies off the MoBo Video at 640 x 480 and doing spreadsheet work at much higher resolutions on the Radius PrecisionView 2150 running off the full length Radius Thunder(?) card I hacked into it underneath the excised CD-ROM. The TV/Tuner Card in the 6360 running in a window on the 21" CRT was the display for my Laser 128! I could have split an extender cable to reach around the VidCard to re-install the CD, but I was using an external CD/R/RW drive by then, so I never bothered.
It's still my main goofing off computer residing in the Hackin' Hutch, sharing the 17" Sony Trinitron from my kid's HomeWorkStation-A/V setup, with whatever I've got sprawled across the dropfront surface at any given time.
I've got a bunch of different PPC Cards I've collected over the last ten years trying to find one that'd get my PEx MoBo to boot. They've given way to a G-4 card and G-3 cards of all speeds and cache combos from Sonnet and one or two other companies. I'll list the part numbers if you'd like. To me, if it ain't accelerated, it's a Mac that NEEDS TO BE ACCELERATED!!!!! [}
