The VideoVision's Drivers need to be one of the first loaded because it's a Video Card at heart. IIRC, whenever a Radius Video Card is installed, the Radius/RadiusWare Logo is displayed in the lower left corner preceding the appearance of the Happy/Sad Mac . . .

. . . or even the: :?:

What kind of PPC Upgrade Card are you using, Apple's? If so, no wonder it doesn't work! BLECH!!!! :p

If you've got one, hack an 8100 MoBo into your 950 and get one of the remaining Crescendo NuBus G3/400/1MB Accelerator's from Sonnet's Online Store . . .

. . . that should very handily blow the doors off any PPC upgrade Apple EVER provided! :lol:

Did I mention that it gets along swimmingly with the VideoVision Studio Card. :?:

Then again, it might just be an extension load order problem, but I doubt it. Shutting down a 68040 to start up an early PPC Proc on a conversion card was likely done in the most ugly way imaginable, and all ways were likely very ugly to begin with!
