Remember to factor in the possibility that there may be bugs which
occasionally cause your system to crash under certain conditions.  As a
small enterpreneur myself, I very much respect what Sonnet is trying to do,
but computers are complicated and often even the most competent engineers
need a lot of testing to find all the bugs.  The 68030 upgrade which we put
in our Mac SE was only reliable if we set an extra wait state on the
processor.  The G3 upgrade which we put in our Performa 6360 caused me to
lose a lot of sleep with its unpredictable crashes.  The Vimage G3 card
which I used in my Powerbook 2400 was great.  It's a bit of a gamble.
