Actually, the Mach 5 (8600/250+ and 9600/300+) machines are slightly
different than other 8600/9600 machines. On some cards you have to
flip a switch or two (like on my NewerTech) but others handle it no
problem. If you are buying new, I would not expect any problems,
but if you are buying an older (used) G3 card, confirm that it will
work in the Mach 5 machines.
