Hmm.... Well, the idea that my NUBUS slots may be "nuked" is not good, as I tried this with two different motherboards. The Apple 8*24 GC graphics acceleration card seems to be working fine now, though, so maybe it survived. I wonder if testing it with TechTool Pro 2 would reveal any problems with it? For that matter, would it reveal whether any other NUBUS slots on the motherboard are dead? I would like to know before I reinstall my VideoSpigot video capture card, although it too was exposed to this short for a time before I removed it. Also, does anyone know where I can find ram SIMMS for my 8*24 GC card? I read that it can hold up to 10 MB of ram (2 MB on-board and two 4 MB ram SIMMS max).
