G3 owners rejoice!!!

By newer ATI equivalents, I assume you mean ones downloaded from their website?

By the by, have you tried a Rev B ROM with that Trio? I too would love to be able to use that beast in my beiges.

The reason my beige was locking up was probably because of outdated drivers then...... I have a 9200 in mine.

Yes. The seller of an 8500 included a CD with (then) newest stuff for 7nnn to 9nnn for me. 2007 was the most recent date, but the range was from 2001 up, and well after the release of OS 9.2.1, at least.

I'd trample on a little old lady to get my claws on a Rev. B to try. Short of doing the rounds of repairers' and upgraders' shops, I don't see any immediate likelihood of getting one, however. Rev. As probably get thrown away. Rev. Cs are scarce as ... Loose Rev. Bs are never heard of. You could try Applebits, if you haven't already.

One of his bits-a-lot motherboard auctions includes a beige G3 board with a Rev B ROM right now.

Offtopic, but:

Pity, because the Trio would spare the third PCI slot for a 10/100 NIC, given that the first is occupied by a Radeon 7000 with DVI out. Otherwise the two non-video slots have to be ATA-100 and combo USB/FireWire.

Why not using the LMP "All in one" PCI-Card (10/100, Firewire and USB)?

I use it in all my oldworldmachines (7500, 9600, G3 DT) and it works great.

I didn´t find international resellers, ... but heave a look:

It´s the resell of a PC Card, if i find the package i´ll post the original manufacturer.

Thank you. It's exactly the kind of card that is so often needed, but seldom found. Even €63.00 is not all that frightening. Please post whatever you find about the source.

O.k I found the box. It´s a "Cherry1394". The Model Number is 69121 (1394+USB2.0+ LAN Combo Card).

Crazy the german description at my 2nd Link above says "not for Beige G3" but that´s exactly where I use it without any problems. Is there anything about a beige G3 what can make PCI-Cards working in every PPC from the 7xxx to the latest G4, except Beige G3, ... ??

And I found some pictures from a gone auction. It´s the "original" LMP as mine.

Yes - the very same ROM issue that we're discussing with the Trio card. I'd be willing to bet that if you check, you have a Rev B ROM in your Beige.

There must be a little competition for Rev. B ROMs at the moment. Within two hours of your post there was no trace of that offering. Just a B&W Yosemite board was left. Nonetheless, I thank you for the pointer.
