perhaps some tulip card.
The CommSlot was introduces on the 68xxx series Macs(I believe). It
was designed to be a slot fo modems and ethernet cards. The 52xx had a
comm slot 1. The Comm Slot II is available on the 54/55/64/65xx series
and the Beige PowerMac G3's personality cards. The Personaility card
took the place of the processor slot on the older PCI mac motherboards.
It had the sound ports on it, and you could get ones with USB ports
and Video in/out ports as well. The CSII ethernet card I have is a
Digital, do it would probably use the Tulip drivers. I think that the
CSII is technically considered a PCI based slot, but I'm not sure how
to activate it. I will check over at some of the other distro forums
and see what I can find.
Did you verify that X uses the 'ati' instead of 'fbdev' driver?
Yes. When I run SaX2, it shows the Mach64 215GT driver is being used.
I installed an ATI card on my 7500 with a G3/400, and it wasn't much
faster than the onboard FB device, so I am thinking a video card would
be a better upgrade.
Thanx
