001 dead?

[ghostarbeiter]

Hey all,

just dropped to ask most knowledgable bunch online ...
I've worked on Digi-s (002,003) professionally, but never had one home.

Now, a friend gave me a 001, which supposedly worked well. I picked an oldest machine I had, just in case - an 3GHz single Intel on 865 chipset, still DDR1 and all.
And machine won't boot with Digi card in it. I've changed pci slot - no difference. Tried it in more recent machines, same thing. When I get external unit connected, its power LED lights up, but can't get a system working at all - no sounds from mobo, no screen, nothing.

Am I dealing with a fried card?

I caught a few notions (gearslutz, I think) that 001 maybe asks for even older system - namely something to do with PCI slots, but that sounds ridicolous, since people here run 001's on pretty recent harware.

Not that anything depends on this, but wanted to try it ...

thanks
