Thanks, Gene. I will be installing that card this weekend. I just upgraded from OS 8.5.1 to 8.6. I may need that driver. If I have any trouble finding it - I will drop you a line.
I have a couple of G3 Macs - but my other systems are PC's running everything from Linux to Win Xp. I am a system administrator - I have had to work on multiple platforms (mainly Windows servers), lots of different systems - so I try to stay versed in a bit of everything. At my current employer, we already have MAC gurus - so I do not have to work with them at work. So it has been a while since I worked on my on Macs. That will be changing after this weekend. Thanks to all for your speedy replies.
