The 2930CU model number is a Mac card and is available as either a
retail card or an OEM model installed by Apple. Here's the ASP block for
mine:
SCSI card
Card type: scsi
Card name: ADPT,2930CU
Card model: ADPT,1686806-04
Card ROM #: 4.2
Card revision: 3
Card vendor ID: 9004
Earlier ROMs and revs are known to have problems; Adaptec used to
provide free replacement ROM chips.
It may also be a PC model number. The retail boxes differ in color and
branding. All Mac BIOS cards are sold as PowerDomain cards. The PC cards
are just labeled SCSI Card. I believe the Mac cards, themselves, are
marked as PowerDomain, but I'm not certain.
As for the specific card this thread is about, what model was it. Some
of the PCI machines, like the 8500s, are exceptionally stubborn about
getting cards seated properly. And, some cards will work in one slot and
not another. I have an Mac ATI that works in my B&W G3, but put it in my
8500 and the machine won't boot.
Also, what does ASP show? ASP *should* be able to pull the card ID info
from a properly seated card, even if the drivers aren't loaded and
working.
