I have one of these in my Gig Ethernet. Just be warned, it is sensitive to higher temps. Make sure you are cleaning out dust on a regular basis. Once you get the power issue sorted, any future video issues, your first step should be to check airflow, and temps. -- You received this message be

     From my knowledge on the PC cards you need to tape the #3 and #11 pin and the rom needs to flashed for it to work... I plug one in on an old G4 and it didn't boot up at all... Now I never heard or knew of a MAC 9800??? If that is what it is does this card have a fan on it? Maybe if it does it

Thanks everyone, for all the feedback and suggestions. I will try taking the power off the optical drive connectors next, and see what happens. I have the molex for the 9800 running off the hard drive connector for the drive cage under the optical bay, where I have two SCSI drives (RAID). As

The second thought is that maybe the PSU itself isn't capable of providing enought power for all of the components. And: warmed-up components may draw more power. FWIW I had the same problem when updating my Mystic to the flashed version of a 9800 pro card (taped pins). The general consensus

hi, fwiw, years before i owned a powermac, i used slackware exclusively on a tyan tiger dual palomino board with 4 gigs of ram and had a firegl card that needed a molex connection for extra power to the gpu. now all of the finery of my memory is gone from this experience, but the quirks fro
