Hi there, Thanks to DC and to fellow music warrior Bill for chiming in. Now my "confession" - I am trying to get this card (and the host Dig. Audio) to run OS 9.2.2 (for app. specific reasons; I got the spare G4, why not?). Re-seated the card, reset the board, zapped the PRAM; now then, the card actually fires up the monitor attached, but after the happy face with the welcome to Mac OS9 logo, the mouse cursor disappears and the boot-up process freezes; have to do a hard re-boot (reset button). As you may recall, in OS 9 you'll get the "You didn't shut your Mac down properly" window with Disk Utility doing a quick fix - I get that; the card appears to work (it displays properly), then when done, I click "OK" and the happy OS 9 face appears and the unit freezes again. Nothing indicative of extension conflict; just what appears to be hardware incompatibility. So, I am thinking that an NVidia 4MX and a Dig. Audio just don't work (need a 2MX or 3MX) - hence my question.
