PPC PCI cards on x86

[Ben Stanley]

The Sonnet card to which you refer is, I believe, not a PCI card, but a 
custom Apple direct CPU bus. This bus is different depending upon which 
model the card is designed to upgrade... and definetly would not be able 
to be plugged in to a PC.

If indeed there are PPC chips on a PCI card, then I would be interested 
to see this done, and I would have reason to buy one.
