Unless you are a stickler for things authentic, there is a reason for the door
missing.
Most of us operate our S900 with the door removed even if we still have it.
Mine came off in less then a month after buying it new.
The door gets in the way of the CD tray when it pops out.

Trust me, after a while it will drive you nuts.
And compared to modern macs or even a 7500, it is very loud.

Hmmmm....a tired transformer ?
You may be dealing with replacing the power supply at some point.

Yikes - although I don't have the card my impression is it's less trouble to
just ditch the card.
Just live with the internal SCSI and consider getting a IDE PCI card if you
need additional storage.
Load up more memory into that beast and install 9.1.
Prices are excellent on 128mb DIMMs.
