Does it have some RAM (probably a couple of small, i.e. <64KB, static
RAM chips) on it?  If so, the card sounds like the one I tried to get
to work back when I was at Rutgers.  The card was in their Mac IIci
and I left Rutgers before I finished the work...  If you want my diffs 
to sn driver, let me know.
