[Soekris] PCI card in Net5501

[Andreas Wrede]

I am trying to use a PV-149a (4-Channel Brooktree-based capture card, see http://www.provideo.com.tw/DVRCard_149P.htm ) in the PCI slot. When I power the unit up with the card in place, the power LED will flash on briefly and then turn off and stay off.

I tried an assortment of other card (SCSI, RS-232, Ethernet) without problem, so I suspect the problem is the current draw of the board but I have been unable to get the specs from the manufacturer. There is a 2.5" ATA drive in the box, which according to manufacturers spec draws 2.7W during writing/seeking. What is the max current a PCI card can draw when using the 40W power supply? Or is this not power problem?
