Hmm, I was too fast, there is no G3 card for these machines. Sigh.


The only stuff I found was: (http://www.sonnettech.com/)


http://www.sonnettech.com/product/presto_ppc.html

PowerPC Upgrade for Quadra (610*, 650, 700, 800, 900, 950) & Centris (610, 650*) models:
PRESTO PPC 100Mhz 601 PowerPC ICPU Upgrade, 1Mb L2 cache -      $389
*required PPC adapter for these models:         $49


http://www.sonnettech.com/product/quaddoubler.html

For the Centris 610, 650 & 660AV; Quadra 610, 660AV, 700 & 900;
 and Workgroup Server 60/20 & 60/25.
  
  Plug the Sonnet QuadDoubler into a Quadra or Centris
  and double your computer's speed. The QuadDoubler
  includes a Floating Point Unit for super-fast rendering
  or calculations and is Mac OS 8.1 compatible.

  Fast 100/50 MHz 68040 Processor with FPU
  The Sonnet QuadDoubler processor upgrade card card uses a high-quality
  Motorola 100/50 MHz 68040 processor to ensure maximum reliability and
  compatibility. This super-fast processor upgrade card includes an integrated
  FPU math coprocessor for ultimate performance in spreadsheets, graphic
  applications, web browsing and complex mathematical calculations. A lower
  cost 80/40 MHz 68040 processor is used in the QuadDoubler for the Centris
  610 and Workgroup Server 60/20.

But I guess, eventually somebody will build a G3 for 68k Nubus Macs...

Sorry for the confusion.
