CarrierZIF 60 to 66MHz Bus Speed Settings By Anthony Saxton Published: 8/12/99 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

DISCLAIMER: XLR8 does not endorse or support these settings. 60MHz+ bus speeds will not be reliable on most Macs (Powercenter Pros are a possible exception). Bus speeds add little to G3 card real performance in most applications, so concentrate on reliability instead of trying to run the ragged edge of stability which could cost you precious data, lost time and possible hardware failures. Officially the CarrierZIF manual documents only bus speeds from 40 to 60MHz, but a reader did some investigation and discovered additional settings up to 66MHz:
"Mike,
In the table below the 'Jumpers' row refers to XLR8 ZIFs that have jumpers on the ZIF module, some models rely on the CarrierZIF for Bus/CPU ratio (as do many OEM/Apple ZIFs). The Blue column lists bus speeds; adjacent to it are the switch settings for those speeds. I've not verified this personally yet but thank Anthony for the info!
