AFAIK ALL PCI cards would work on a PC or Mac provided there is a driver. For video and SCSI or IDE drive controllers this has to in ROM on the card as it is needed at boot time. For others it can be loaded from the disk. And yes such software is in many cases not written for both machines. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
