PCI versions that work in an 8500?
I would like to use a cardbus to pci adapter in my Mac 8500. That's because I
have a couple Newer Technology FireWire 2 Go PCILynx cardbus firewire cards.
The PCILynx firewire cards can be used as protocol sniffers, which one can do
now under Mac OS 9 with firebug, and will hopefully be able to do under Linux if
I can get it together to write a sniffer for Linux.
The adapters are kind of hard to find, but here's one:

The guy who sent me the link says it's a PCI 2.2 card. Should it work on an
8500? I think mine was manufactured in 1996.
You can get the newer tech pcilynx cardbus cards here:
