I remember many years ago some mentions that some version of the G3 would be feasible as a replacement in Blizzard cards, but given the value of the Blizzards I guess it's not worth the risk and apparently noone has seriously tried.
I've lost interest in the Classic PPC stuff after getting a Pegasos G3, an A1200 for old games and programs is great but for more recent apps / productivity it's a waste.

Actually it's kinda weird we're still talking about this after all these years isn't it ? :) Cool though...

The advantage of the G3 would of course be the extra cache, given that the same memory access limitations apply.

Found one old mention of it in this site in 2008, but I remember an older one. Have no idea about the compatibility between the processors though, which is what matters.
