Re: MkLinux Control Panel Compatibility with Sonnet Crescendo

Add me to the list of users who'd love to get the Sonnet Crescendo G3 card
to work with Linux. A Sonnet rep told me the company has no intention of
supporting Linux in any way. So we're on our own. I have an 8100/80 that
runs Mac OS 9.04 at quite respectable speed with the Sonnet card. Without
the card, it may as well be a Mac II or an LC.
