I just put the old Rage 128 from my B&W into my 8500 at work, which has the Apple G3 300 ZIF from the same B&W running in an XLR8 ZIF carrier card. The card worked fine from the start, with the 1710AV monitor that came with the 8500 and the ATI extensions from OS 9.1 enabled. It still works fine with 9.2.2 and the latest ATI extension package.
Two questions for you. Does this card still work in a B&W? Did you press the CUDA after you installed it (assuming the 7300 has one)?
