On this card, there is a small sticker in the upper left hand corner
of the mount, or unsoldered side that identifies it as "AHA-2930CU
MAC," then there are 2 more stickers on the largest chip on the
board, the first with this written: 1719305-00 B
BIOS EEC8
�1999
v4.2
E1753
The one next to it reading: (Barcode)
AHA-2930CU MAC
1805800 C
0018

I hope I don't have to do this...

I didn't get this new, so I can't say about the packaging.

I've only tried this in the 7600, the thought of putting it in my
8500 isn't high on my list (it is a picky machine)

So far I can't get that far in the boot process. The machine freezes
about 8 seconds after the start-up chord, and the monitor light goes
to amber.
Also, there is a single 2-pin jumper right below the R28 spot on the
card, which came with the jumper only attached to one pin, I may try
jumping the pins, if there isn't any bad consequence anyone can think
of.
Thanks again,
