I have an Evergreen IEEE 1394/USB fireLINE PCI Combo Card (older USB 1.1 version) that worked well in a Mac Yikes G4. When I installed this card in a Mac Digital Audio G4, I could not start the computer. Nothing happened after the startup chime. Is there a firmware update for this card?
You might need to update the NVRAM that stores the PCI configuration that is read at POST. This is done by pressing and holding the so-called CUDA switch on the MOBO for for at least 30 seconds or so. The eraser end of a wooden pencil makes a useful tool for this ;-) It sometimes requires unplugging the computer and removing the small battery that maintains the memory so that it is completely cleared. Please check that no connections, especially memory cards, haven't been disturbed during installation as well. HTH.
