There are different hardware versions? I think this card should work in a Z3
slot as well, only the video daughter board has been broken out, put into
the video slot on the mainboard, and connected with two flat cables to the

different?

But Tobias is still around, he sold me the card and Ingo said he wrote the
AOS driver.
