Octane PCI Cards
Can non-SGI specific PCI cards be used in a PCI Cage? I have a old Adaptec 2940w SCSI card that I was thinking about tossing in the PCI cage just to see if it would show up on the bus, not to use. 

Would I damage anything by just popping the card in and seeing if it can be probed to see if the cage sees something populated?

I spent awhile trying to find out what PCI devices are supported and there doesn't seem to be a really good exhaustive list. Only a few are on the Octane page on HI Wiki
Octane 2xR12K-400mhz, 2gb RAM, MXE, Digital Video, Fiber Channel
Octane 2xR10k-225mhz, 2gb RAM, SI, SE, PCI-Cage w/ CAD Duo
NeXTcube (040, 25mhz, SCSI2SD v5.1, NU_IO, 16mb)
