Hi listers,
Recently I acquired a 250mhz Umax PCI processor...
I put it in my Powermac 7300, removing its 200mhz card. When I pushed the start button, the machine did NOT chime, but it came on, and I heard the hard drive go thru its startup noises...
...but never got a picture. Pressed the CUDA, zapped the PRAM, stood w/ one leg in the air; no change!
Replaced the 200mhz card; the 7300 works fine again.
WHat gives? I thought the 250mhz Umax card worked in PCI macs... or do I just have a bad card?
With the heat sink facing you, are there jumpers on the left-most three sets of pins on the cable connector at the top? If not, try installing them. That is, there should be three jumpers in that cable connector, starting at the left end and no others.
If the jumpers are present, then either the card is defective, or your 7300 won't handle a 50 MHz bus speed (unlikely, I think).
