Joevt or Mary(mjoecups358), I'd like to get a copy of the flasher. I wonder if it will work with a Radeon 9100. This should also make it possible to play America's Army and a number of new games at acceptable speeds. Please send me a copy. |

Sorry, I meant Marty. No offence intended. I fat fingered the keyboard. |

Quake 3 on a Power Mac 8600 with a G3 500 and Hercules 9000 64MB PCI set to 1920x1440 with all options turned on and maxed gets almost 22 fps. The CPU is so slow that the maximimum frame rate (with all options set to minimum and the resolution set to 640x480) is only 35 fps. OS 9 works but 2D and 3D acceleration do not because the ATI Resource Manager tries to use the AGP Manager which does not exist on PCI Macs. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it not do that but there is no documentation on OS 9's AGP Manager. The modified Mac flasher works on the Hercules. The PowerColor needs the PC flasher. Different cards need different firmware because they have different hardware. The RadClk command line tool that comes with RadEdit on sourceforge.net tells how the PC BIOS initializes the card. That info can be used to make the Mac firmware work. |

Hey Marty, that's awesome! I just have a few questions: 1-where can we download the ROM from? 2-does it work under OS 9? 3-is it the same procedure as on the Radeon 7000 PCI? |
