Have you tested the card actually physically works, by attaching a fire wire DC or hard disk to it? I have a cheap no-name FireWire card in my 7300 a friend gave me (it didn't like Windows XP ;) ) and it works fine but doesn't show up in ASP at all. ASP is very fickle about cards it doesn't recognise. My USB card shows up fine as does my Voodoo 3 2000 but my FireWire card just shows up as 'PCI Card" with no other info. I also found it didn't recognise my Voodoo 1 card (which I use to have in it before the Voodoo 3) but that also worked fine. -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC Vintage Macs List Nanny SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
