| [What I am] FORMAC ProG3 366-44 | |
| Posted by: lazaj on 2020-09-28 19:31:53 Hello, I found this board in a pile of macintosh hardware that I bought long time ago. It seems to be a CPU upgrade card for PCI Macintosh. I can't find information about it. Does anyone on this forum have any information ? ProG3 366-44 Carrier Made in Germany by Formac Partnumber : PAG310-2 SERIAL NR: 9111720003   | |

Sadly I don't have a compatible Mac to test if this card works ... | |
