Well I can't even get recognition that the card is on present the PCI bus.
So there is a time to give up and do something profitable.
That is now.

Is there a specific recommendation, or specification, since I'll be on Ebay
for a solution? Beyond the obvious:
- 5V.
- 33MHz.
- as recent as possible.

Yes. Done. But there's no noticeable impact on the system.
Probably there is a reconfiguration step missing.

Well the installation went perfectly, and the package is installed.
But, SILO is still running the boot. There's no mention of GRUB
in any of the logs.
Not sure what I missed.
