[csw-users] DVD help pt2

[H. Streit]

It's in the 66MHz PCI Slot.
The card is definetly an ATI Radeon, however I've tried the whole
"Mix-n-match x86 & SPARC PCI cards" game before.  It never works.
The BIOS hooks for a SPARC-based system are /way/ different.
My last experiment was with a commercial scsi card from Best Buy, the 
firmware that an x86 will pickup is vastly different than what a 
SPARC-based puppy needs.
