Wow, ok. She had me convinced that it "always
worked" in this
configuration, but that's clearly not true. She must've forgotten all
about the Mega-Dongle.
Well... there is a chance she is right. If this was the "Houdini" card
that worked with the 610 (or the Reply branded version)... of if this was
the 7" or 12" 586 or Pentium cards that work with MANY of the PCI
powermacs... then I could speak with much more certainty.
BUT... I have never personally worked with (nor own) the card that works
with the 630 and 6100. I have heard rumor that they in fact do not need a
dongle, but the problem you are describing, fits with what will happen on
a 610 if the dongle isn't present... so that makes me think that you DO
in fact need a dongle for the 630/6100 card.
Anyone have one of those cards they want to give me? (hopefully including
the dongle if it is needed). It would round out my DOS card collection
nicely.

The local used computer place has a PowerMac 6100/xx that has
the DOS card installed. I think they want around $45 for it.

New subject: Orange donation
Yesterday we visited Computer Solutions in Orange, NJ and were given a
lovely HP3000 Series 70. It's a large, but very lovely beastie and so
far, at least, remarkably tractable. Also in the load were boxes of
paper tape, tape reader , full 3000 docs and an HP2108. They also gave
us an Apollo 400 system, server and 6 workstations. Very nice people,
and aa lovely donation.
