Which of these might match a Sawtooth? (No comments on photo quality, thank you.) ;)

You'd think they'd put a little saw blade or a sharks tooth dangling on the back to differentiate these... although I DO think all of those Apple nicknames are kind of cute! ;D

Maybe we need one of those for OS 9??? My first thought is 'Resurrection' ... Anybody else have a good name?? ;D

Agreed Mr. Happy. Here, still stuck on “Lives” or “lives”. But, I do like the old German U-boat logo for the Sawtooth. ;)

And thanks Nano. Sawtooth port plate (riveted in place), slated to be removed to replace a B&W G3 port plate (screwed in place)… for a Sawtooth MOBO placed in a G3 chassis.

Also, found this interesting…

BTW, where is IIO?

Looks like my guess was wrong.

Thanks MacTron… and all other respondents.

Original query was in regard to a Sawtooth-to-B&W-G3 “Hybrid”… where the screwed-in-place
G3 port plate (HH 805-2070-B), was removed to accomodate the different port configuration of
the Sawtooth’s AGP motherboard. The newer, Sawtooth port plate (HH 805-2233-B)
no longer featured the simple, screwed-in port plate design…
as Apple replaced it with a single stamped-metal construct.

While some purists may consider such a Hybrid an “abomination”… I’m now considering a similar
effort, installing a 533 MHz DA motherboard into a B&W G3 chassis… producing yet another
possible "G4 wolf" in "sheep’s G3 clothing” Hybrid.

[Of course, that DA’s port plate assembly will also need to make the transition to the G3
(which now has the problematic Rev. 1 MOBO - 350 MHz). But that’s a simple matter of
drilling out and then replacing the 14 rivets. Theoretical and of course... all perhaps
elementary to some.]
