My A4000 is indeed towered (Power Tower). I noticed when I first
fitted the CSPPC that it didn't seem a particularly tight fit in the
processor slot, at least, nowhere near as tight as Zorro cards tend to
be in their slots.
I took care to ensure the four little plastic "legs" held the card
correctly, but it had, as you say, worked loose.

I've heard that both CVPPC and BlizzVisionPPC have connector problems,
but as I use a PicassoV I've been saved that particular headache. The
PIV most certainly won't work loose, it takes considerable force to
insert the damn thing in its slot!
Talking of GFX cards, whatever happened to the paraglide? the 3-D add
on for the PIV?
