Success with the ATI Rage 128 is random, apparently. It works sometimes in 
PCI Bus 1, but not others (in the last 5 powerups, it's recognized the card 
twice when sitting in one of the 32 bit slots on PCI Bus 1, but never in the 
32 or 64 bit slots on PCI Bus 0). My instructions (and Mike Foley) tell me 
that it should be in PCI Bus 0, but it doesn't seem to come up. Maybe this 
was all due to that fact that the machine had 264DP firmware instead of 
UP2000.

I now have the UP2000 firmware installed from API's web site, v5.8-81. All 
this trouble came about because I wanted to swap the ATI Xpert 98 card from 
the UP2000 into an older PC164 alpha with a dead S3 video card. Alas, the ATI 
Xpert 98 doesn't work in the PC164, so this is all moot. I'll stick with the 
ATI Xpert 98 in the UP2000 and go buy another S3 for the PC164.

Thanks for the help, though.
