Needed AE TW6400 drivers

I don’t suppose you ever found drivers? I picked up one of these cards and it doesn’t seem to do anything when installed in my IIci.
I think for other similar cards (DayStar) the drivers are only needed to enable cache, hoping maybe the AE card needs some sort of driver to do anything (vs. the card is dead)

Daystar 040 cards have their own firmware to intitialize the 040 right on the card. The driver is only needed to enable advanced features like the external cache or FPU related stuff.
The Carrera040, Sonnet, Tokamac and Interware IIci cards need a driver to initialize the 040 and switch over to the 040 from the logicboard 030.
As there is no ROM on the AE card that would hold some kind of firmware to do this job I am safe to say that your card isn’t doing anything without a driver.

Wonder if there is any chance the drivers for one of those cards would work for the AE card? I think I read somewhere that some cards shared drivers but I suppose that might only be due to actual shared/licensed/purchased hardware designs.
