Hi guys. If you have been following along over on 68kmla, I conquested one of these beasts a couple weeks ago. I discovered I already have a DOS card, and a cable for it. I popped it open and discovered it has a Sonnet Crescendo G3 250mhz with 512k of cache. Mac OS 8.6 picks it up as 266mhz, and there is only 256k of cache.
I have been playing with the DOS card, added a 32mb RAM stick to it, up from 8mb, and have been running Windows 3.1 and 95 on it. I like it a lot, but I can only have 1 in the slot. No, I can't daisy chain the DOS card off the sonnet, as the sonnet is nubus, and has a nubus passthrough, but the DOS card is PDS and has a nubus to PDS right angle adapter/riser card.
Oh, and I have the max 72mb of RAM in the 6100, so I could just run Virtual PC, but that is slower, and I like having the joystick port for my sidewinder.
So, which one will stay, and which one will go?
