I got my new $50 sonnet upgrade today and installed the software I pulled to cache simm and installed the upgrade and nothing.  Pulled the upgrade and system restarted.  I put the card in and out 3 more times and decided to do the system 7 thing I restarted zapped the pr ram and rebuilt the desktop reinstalled the sonnet card and everything has been working fine. Just something to look out for.

Old computers can get dirty and decrepit sometimes. Something on your motherboard or in a slot was probably making bad contact and the higher pull of the CPU upgrade just made it obvious.

well after a couple of weeks the g3 died I got a second one from sonnet and It has been working flawlessly.  I did get 4 32 meg simms last week, it is nice to have the extra ram.  I have found a scanner with os7 software on e-bay to finish out the project.  My daughter has started using it for her daily school work. I also pulled out the select lw 300 to finish the system. I can still remember wanting this system in 1993.  it is truly amayzing that a machine sold 14+ years ago is still so useful.
