Yep. I've got a pci 100BT ethernet card that works when I'm in Linux, but not when I'm in MacOS 9. I just compiled the standard Linux driver and it works. I also threw a Mac PCI SCSI card in a x86 Linux box, and it worked-- not bootable on the x86, but otherwise completely usable. I haven't tried switching pci video cards, that might be more problematic. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
