Default What G3 card now that NewerTech is gone?

My Newer cards are very happy in my 9500 chassis, but I'm curious about what other ones work. ... Since NewerTech is (R.I.P.) gone...

once upon a time they were the only ones that would do for a PT system...

thx,

steveV

I too have a Newertech (in my PT rig at home), and was saddened by their departure.

A 9600/300 at a facility I work at needed a kick in the pants, and we also went the Sonnet G3/500 option as discussed above, and everything is fine.

Performance is not as good as I expected, but it's about as good as can be, given these are now pretty old machines.

Cheers

Rick

I've been using a Crescendo G3/500 card in my 9600 for some months now and everyone seems completely happy.

I've been trying to buy a PowerLogix G3/500 ZIF card for about two months now. All of the major mac catalog sites have been on back order the whole time. When you ask, they all say check back in ten days. Ten days later, its check back in ten days. I wrote PowerLogic and they told me, about ten days. This does not look good.
