Wish I had known, someone else solicited for one but no responses came back. The 6500 I am puttin it into has a PCI card now in one of the comm slots. I wanted the CS II card because: a) I would like to get the modem port open. b) I want a second ethernet card for internet sharing, I just got DSL. c) I don't want to fill the comm slots with ethernet cards. and d) I don't think the card I have is of very good quality, I get a lot of freezes on the 6500 during data exchanges between my other Macs.
