I have access to this card and am trying to determine if it will work in a
regular AGP slot. I have googled it and get mixed signals use in a regular
slot, with some mentioning a Pro slot. Any direction or links are
appreciated and please accept my thanks in advance to anyone replying.

No, it doesn't. The FireGL 4 is AGP Pro and needs an AGP Pro slot...

The FireGL 4 needs AGP Pro (which is basically a generic AGP slot with
more lines for supplying power to the gfx card).

Besides that you should be aware that the FireGL 4 is a design from
~2001 made by Diamond Multimedia before ATI bought the FireGL part from
Diamond. It uses IBM Raster and Geometry engines while newer FireGL
cards use RADEON-based GPUs. The FireGL 4 does only OpenGL 1.2 and _no_
DirectX! The drivers are awful and the performance is just bad!

If you want a cheap FireGL card that works in a generic AGP slot get a
FireGL 8800. They are the first RADEON-based FireGL cards made by ATI
itself, are much faster, have better drivers, support DirectX 8 and fit
in a generic AGP slot...
