Hello Baldassare, Thank you for responding. It is the long card. Has a series of numbers that are no help in determining model or part no. (do they ever these days?). Like yours, this card ran well in Tiger, but I am trying to run it in Leopard with no success - I suspect it is incompatible, hence my question.
