A slight perversion of your Fred, Drew, but as good a place as any for my question ...
From Him Who Must Not Be Named I have bought a number of G3 and G4, 400 and 500MHz ZIF cards. I plan to use G4/500s by Sonnet in a Beige G3 DT and a Beige G3 MT.
Sonnet is very coy (on its site. Perhaps not in the original retail box, where I suspect that they did provide a jumper block.) about the matter of jumpers, referring only to their own secret recipe via software for bus multiplier, &c.
The references from non-Sonnet pages make no mention of s/w versus jumper configuration, although OWC (or XLR8 Your Mac) provide an extensive tabulation for standard and overclocked configurations.
My question is simple. Sonnet s/w alone, ignoring the present jumper settings for a G3/400MHz? Sonnet s/w alone, with all jumpers off? Sonnet s/w, but also jumpering to configure for a G4/500MHz?
I have to suppose that bus speed at least should be selected by jumpering appropriately, and very probably cache multiplier, too. I am also consumed with curiosity about HWMNBN's source for so many ZIF upgrade cards, but that is another matter.
