Software for Sonnet Crescendo 604e?
Posted by: bakkus on 2023-08-12 07:16:05 Greetings all! Buried in a 7100 I ran across this thing: After some research, it turns out this is a Sonnet 604e processor upgrade for the x100 series PDS slot. I now have it mounted in my 8100, and it didn't blow up! Unfortunately it's not working either. I might be mistaken, but from what I gather the Sonnet Crescendo/Encore software such as 2.3.1 only contains extensions for their G3 series. Even 1.4.2 which is the oldest I could find only mentions G3s. I see old whispers on the Internet talking about using Sonnet Crescendo v1.0.3 - but where to find it? I've checked the Garden, Mac Driver Museum and around archive.org. Any clues?
