Kris: My understanding is that the "tape on pins 3 &11 issue" applies to PC versions of the 9800 card flashed over to Mac, not to *original* Mac edition cards. This is an original Mac edition card.
Cards that have the pin issue will cause the machine to not power up *at all * if the pins are not covered. My machine will power up with the card installed. The problem is on restarts, or a power up after a shutdown (unless you unplug and replug the machine). Furthermore, the flashing red molex graphic indicates that the card is somehow not getting power, or it thinks it isn't. I may, if I can't get anywhere in another way, try the pin thing. But I don't think that's the problem. Thanks, Rob J.
