Doesn't show up in OpenFirmware. Doesn't show up in lspci or lshw.
Doesn't appear in dmesg. Not even a hint.
I can only guess that it is not actually 5V 33MHz 32bit PCI.
Otherwise there'd be something. Right?

Yes. You would have thought. Perhaps a bus mismatch as above?
I tried the card (some years ago) in a PC and it worked fine.
Anyway, another day.
