Yep, all the extensions are up-to-date. The four-port card simply doesn't work.
Their tech support was responsive and dug out the relevent line from
the web FAQ when I sent them a grouchy note, but my point here is
that nowhere in ANY of the lit I read (online or in print) did Orange
say this did not work on a pre-G3 PCI Mac.
Makes me think they thought it would... in any event I find it
annoying in the extreme.
