Thanks!
No- the 03-04 top is a plug and play drop in to a 2000, 2001, and 2002 Boxster, but in order for it to work in a 97-99, you have to do a couple of modifications in order for the control unit to understand when to stop cycling the top. It is very doable though, and Maurice (schoir is his handle here), has done it on his 97 Boxster, and it works perfectly. I would contact him for instructions if you source an 03-04 top.
