Sonnet Crescendo G3 250/512 not working
SO I picked up this cheaply hoping it work, sadly no dice. Looks like someone bodged in a wire on D3, what is supposed to be there?

mine just stopped turning on so I wonder if it's power related, have you recapped yours. I got motherboard cap in but not the PSU yet

The 8100s are working just the sonnets (all 3)! Wont boot in the 8100s (tested like 10?)

Most Sonnet upgrades are pretty bulletproof (well at least, they were at release but nowadays some are failing with flaky cache but not a common problem), the problem likely lies with your 8100 ... reset PRAM, check PSU voltages, clean all connectors.
