When is PCI not PCI?

Hi all

I recently acquired a PCI 3 port Firewire card and I thought I'd put it in
my PCI Dual 1.8 G5. I already have a PCI card in there. The card says 'Mac
and PC' on the box and it definitely fits a PC PCI slot. However, on my Mac,
there's an extra slot needed in the toward the front of the card - which the
card doesn't have!

I'm totally confused now. Are there different PCI scots on PC and Mac? I
thought PCI was a 'universal' slot.

Regards

Stephen
