I was wrong about the G5's: 3 early iMac G5 models do not have 1Gbit Ethernet. https://everymac.com/systems/by_capability/macs-with-ethernet.html lists by "Ethernet Capabilities" (actually sub-sorted by the capability). The list shows about 112 models with built-in Ethernet but without 1Gbit Ethernet. All are PowerPC based. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
