So, will it work on an si with a video card?

Also, I found a few places in macweek that have IIsi's for around $300, if there
is any chance of getting it to run on a si, it sounds like a nice setup
could be had for small amount of cash.

Also, if anyone feels they can figure out what needs to be fixed with a IIsi
I will offer the use of mine for a few weeks.
