You just listed the biggest problem right at the end of that paragraph... "PC card" If you are talking about a video card that works in an x86-based machine and is not one of those new 'dual-firmware' cards, then as it sits, it won't work. > Are you saying there 'may' be a way to fool the card or the video bus > so it would work?

It's not a case of fooling the system with that card. Jason said it best, you will need to flash the card with a Mac compatible firmware. That can be a complicated procedure. Go talk with the strangedogs group, they seem to be /the/ forum for doing such things. The tape bit I was referring to was a 'hack' needed to make an AGP/AGP Pro 8x card work at 4x speeds. I had to do this with my AGP Pro 8x Nvidia card to make it work in my DA. I /do/ seem to recall from several years ago that the tape trick needed to be used with some very early AGP 4x cards as well, but anything fairly current should not need this, and it was with an x86-based machine. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
