Wow...what an awesome looking card. One issue however...when booting it gets stuck at the happy mac. This is a new recent card.

Doesn't Sonnet sell one of those G3/7200's for only $19.99? :O

The 7200 wont boot with the card in it. Just hangs at the happy mac.

They are really temperamental cards. My 7200 would just crash and hang and basically be useless whenever I had the card in it, but when used in a 7500 it worked fine. (It does work in a 7500, and it's a pretty funky way to get a cheap G3 in such a Mac)

Those cards fit in a PCI slot and have their own RAM slots correct?

Yes...and it doesent even work right.

I gather you've installed all the necessary drivers

Mhm...it seems this 1 week old system 7.6 install is allergic to the enabler.
