I discovered this card in my pile of cards, and popped it in my 6500. It's an Apple part number 820-0549-A, with copyright 1994. It has 1 coaxial port on it. I plugged it in, and put 8.6 on the 6500.
When I press the TV/Mac button on the remote, it launches Apple Video Player. There is only one button on the left side of the window, for MPEG files on the HD. I press the channel up and down buttons on the remote, and I get a sound, but nothing else happens. the power, mute and volume buttons also work, but I can't get any signal.
I also tried taking the machine down to the bones. I removed the sonnet 500mhz G3, trimmed the RAM to a single 32mb stick, took out the Comm modem, and removed the PCI ethernet and USB cards.
Do I need to have another display hooked up, or maybe something needs to be plugged in to the coax jack?
Yes, I realize the card will become useless in 2 days, but I just want to see if it will work.
