Probably not. That card may actually be sold with Mac firmware under another brand name (or it might not). It needs not simply drivers but firmware on the card as this card needs to be able to boot the system. There has been some discussion about these cards and one tread is that the Mac version of the card needs a larger flash memory. It may really need more memory or the code may be padded out so it requires a larger memory and thus you can't flash upgrade it from PC to Mac. -- 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...
