I just got my radeon 7000 64MB yesterday, and I can't locate the files needed to flash it to mac. Any help would be appreciated. I did D/L the mac 208rom (i think), but it is OSX file format... I thought I understood that the mac rom should be added under OS9... or am I wrong about that? Could someone pls point me in the right direction. I've been to the links mentioned in the flashed radeon thread. One is in German?? and bablefish can't translate?? I can't make any sense of it. Pls help. |

Glad you found the files you need. I wasn't meaning to taunt you. I have helped a number of people flash their cards. I have also found a number of people asking for help who couldn't install Mac OS9 if I put the CD in their machine for them. Let alone flash a Video card in a PC! So since you were unable to find the address of the forum which is located in the other thread here that you are posting to I wasn't sure you were someone that could be helped ;-) The forum has a ton of helpful info and files and both German and English. I'll give you a hint. It's I think 7 posts down from your first post in the other thread and Chrisdold was the poster. I don't think it is too much to ask that people "read" the posts before asking repeatedly for what has already been answered right under their noise!. Sure I could have posted the address but since you clearly didn't bother to re-read the threads after I said your answers are already here... Another reason for not posting the forum address all over the place. ATI legal has already started taking sites down and I'd like the site to stay up as long as possible. "Adent" has already been lame enough to post the forum address and brag about flashing his card right under the noise of ATI. This was at the xlr8yourmac forums which ATI posts to on a regular basis. luckly it was on a Sunday and I think we were able to get the post pulled before Bruno from ATI saw it. Best of luck |

. Ok. i did not open the files I got from this url http://homepage.mac.com/nickis_que because they were OSX format.. I have just booted into X and realized all the files needed are here. Thanks to this person who has all the files on this homepage. I thought they were only the mac208rom files, but it is everything needed. I am now going to try the flash process. |

i _know_ I have to do it on a pc... except the 208 rom. I have a pc, and can do that. I just can't locate the pc files needed. I have the 208 rom in an OSX format. So that's fine. (although I'd rather do it in OS9). I just need the PC FILES. Why taunt me abt not reading the german forum??? Why not just post the url. I think I have been there anyway. The url listed for the pc files is in a language I cant understand, and so I cant find the D/L link. All I am asking is where to find the PC files, hopefully in english or a translate-able page, so I can understand what to D/L... there is a warning posted about not using google to find the files... so I am asking for help locating a known _good_ source. Thank you. |

The card has to be flashed on a PC there is currently no way to do it completely on a Mac. It original way was two step boot into Dos on a PC with the card installed and flash to Mac ( this is a Mac file but won't work it is to make it possible to flash to the correct file on the Mac) put ht ecard in your mac and flash with the Mac 208 flashrom OS 9 or OSX. There is a new file which lests you do the whole process on the PC. Yes, the german forum has all the needed info. The address is here in the other thread on flashing the PC 7000 card. Someone didn't go to this forum and read it. There is more then enough English posts to guide you how to do it! So in short you will need a PC and someone who knows how to boot into Dos on the machine and a sense of how to run the commands. Not hard but also not something I can really teach through email. I've tried and not going to do it again. A waste of my time ;-) |
