Did you get some sort of power up disk with it? I know that my ppc card had to have some drivers and libs installed before it did anything. When I load up OS 4.1 on my A1200 it goes through a startup process. When everything else fails read the instructions. I had a tough time with mine since they were in German, but I had a friend who was German and he helped me. Only darn thing about Germans they sure do like that black stout beer. Worse then those limeys I swear, now if your American and want to drink with those limeys, make sure you take along some good old Kentucky bourbon. You have to play unfair, because those boys sure can pack away that stout beer.
