First I would like to thank all that have responded to my inquiry. I set up the card under OS 9.1 on the 7300. I could not find any iXMicro drivers in the 9.1 install disk. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. A fellow lister sent me the control panel and the extensions for the twin turbo card (the one I supposedly have) and after installing them I tried to use the card. The video quality is less than I have come to expect from any Mac system. ASP recognizes that there is a card there, but it doesn't identify it as any particular kind or anything. It works and that is the main thing. I will continue to try different combinations to see if there can be any improvement achieved. Thanks again for the help.
