I have came across a Prototype Apple PCI Card (from 1997) this Card has Firewire 200 (2 ports), Coax (2 ports), and S-Video(1 port)... I have surmised that since this card is from 1997 (ie Steves year) that when Steve came back and terminated lots of products (like the Newtons). I know I have heard of firewire 400 and 800. I have been able to use this card and it works fine (at least the firewire) I looked up the #(820-0872 and AP2819-06) and found nothing about it... This card also has some sort of internal Hd/or video connector... Has any one heard of this?
Got a tip for us?

That's "FireDrill". Unreleased. Lucky you. It's quite rare. Mind posting some photos of it?

heh... if that's the same card i'm thinking of, it's not quite that rare... other world computing had a bundle of those that they were trying to sell off. at least 100 of them.
here... they've been selling these for a while now, and they're just now saying they're getting low. 5 bucks a pop.

if there dates are right on the xlr8yourmac article about it, they've been selling these for at least a year now, if not more. sounds about right.
