I did a little snooping for you and found that IxMicro is out of business ~ the only drivers i could find were for the Mac OS....good luck to you.......maybe ebay? ;)

As I recall, this is a Vodoo 2 chip based card.
Check this, by reading the chip on the Video Card.
My memory is not very good.
Regardless.
When you have the vido chip information from the card, install it and try a manual install by telling Windows to use the generic drivers fore that chip. (I assume you have already tried an automatic install.)
I have done this for other cards, and it works most of the time.
I have never tried the combination you are trying.
If it doesn't work, The suggestion of selling it on ebay to a Mac owner and buying a different video card has merit.

I am no MAC expert but if this board is slotted for a MAC why would it work in a PC slot!!?? I would think the pinouts on the edge connector is different. I do not hink they have ISA or PCI standards in a MAC do they?
