Posted by: crazyp on 2013-04-22 21:20:15
Does anyone know if sonnets firewire and USB cards are compatible with my pm7300. If they aren't can anyone recommend cards that work. I have already maxed out the ram and upgraded to a 500mhz g3 and would like to add usb and firewire

They should be I have a 7300 with an Orange Micro USB/FireWire Combo and it works great.

Edit: I'm 10 years too late lol

I use the Sonnet Tango in my PM8600. It’ll work fine in a 7300.

I had less success with the first generation NEC chip based Orange Micro card - lots of corruption with this and generic Firewire cards. Using the Intech HDST driver, you can adjust driver settings to minimize the corruption. The Sonnet does just fine for me with stock Apple drivers.
