Hi Mike:
I have checked what I have and it is not a network card... I don't
think. It has the correct bus, but it has only the db15 pin connector.
I know this was used in some network interface cards, but I think this
is more along the lines of a video card. In fact, looking closer at it,
and taking off the extra pair of eyes, it says Macintosh Display Card on
it. It is about 12 inches long and also sits vertical in the machine
and not lying over flat as the card you pictured appears to do. Let me
know if you want to try it. Dennis in Victoria
