There was a Power version of the Avid software - so you'd probably need to get hold of the standard software from someone who still has it - or a Power card. After that the only thing that is needed is a software key on the hard-drive - this specifically relates to the serial number of the NuVista+ card (which runs the two monitors) - and should hopefully still be on the system. It is possible to get new software keys made - but not from Avid who withdrew it under the cloak of Y2K.
