problems with my Elite 3D M3 video card and my Tatung Ultra 10 clone

i took this Elite 3D M3 video card out of my Ultra 60 machine which was replaced with an M6. the card was working w/o issue in the Ultra 60. however, i'm getting no video when i power the Tatung machine.

yes, the M3 is does work with an AXi motherboard. any ideas what's causing the problem?
