If that card works like the 820-0547-A on my Quadra 700 (now known as Power Quadra 700 8-) ) I think it always take control first, then if set on 680x0 mode, quickly lets the original CPU boot -- but the usual '040 chime plays after a slight (somewhat less than a second) delay, while on PPC mode the 6200-type chime goes almost at once (like the original did without the card).

A funny thing is that PageMaker 4.0 refuses to work in 680x0 mode with the card plugged-in, but works fine in emulation mode!

I'm recapping a 840AV mobo, but I'm not willing to put it into that case... :disapprove:
