 From my personal test of testing random cards into the PCI slot of a 
4801, I can say:
about 50% of universal-keyed cards work. The other half either make the 
Soekris
box not boot any more or they don't show up.
I tested about 6 spare cards I have laying around: NICs, Soundcard, 
USB/FW cards.

My explanation: Although the card says '3.3V and 5V is ok' it does not 
mean it work in an only-3.3V
environment. It means: it'll work in a 3.3V PCI slot in a PC which has 
access to 5V/12V/lots of Amps.
