I tried it in the 2nd. slot and it did start up but the screen was all wierd and there was a strange popping sound at start-up. I thought for sure the card was done for. I put it back in the other machine and it works fine. I shall leave it there. Any idea if the 128 MB card can be flashed? The IDE card is a SIIG. Would that cause a problem?
Many Thanks.

Does the PCI slot it is in make a difference? The one it works in is the second slot and the other one I tried it in was the fourth slot. If the 128MB card will work I can get one for around $70 Canadian and would love to try it. Also, I had no problem installing Panther on the 4G SCSI but cannot get it to install on the Maxtor 40G IDE drive. Anymore ideas.
I'm pretty sure Radeon cards need to be in one of the top 2 slots. That's where mine is.
IDE drives in S900's *may* have the 8 gig limit with OS X, depending on your IDE card. The drive will need to be partitioned, so that the first partition is smaller than 8 gig. OS X will install onto that 8 gig partition.
My IDE card has this problem. It's a VST Ultra 66 card. SCSI drives have no such limitation.
