I have a number of different kinds of Sonnet CPU upgrades running happily in various systems. Content that they were working, I never really looked into whether or not I had the latest available version(s) of the Crescendo installer for OS 9 and earlier, nor the OS 9 versions of the various firmware updaters and NVRAM patchers. At some point much of this dropped off the Sonnet website leaving OS X-only stuff.
Here's a quick summary of what I own:
- Nubus G3 (Several versions from 225 through 500MHz)
- Nubus G4 360MHz
- L2 G3 (240MHz I think, currently reporting such in a Performa 6360)
- ZIF G4 1GHz (One good, one possibly dead)
- MDX G4 Dual 1.8GHz
I got thinking about this because I need to get the ZIF G4 working in a B&W on OS 9, but this machine had only ever had OS X installed. The system crapped out when the first ZIF G4 apparently died, at which point I reverted to a standard CPU for a while. The OS X installation has since gotten damaged beyond repair, and I don't have any intention of re-installing OS X on it because it was painfully slow compared to some other machines I've acquired since then.
Please post download links if possible, thanks.
