Ed Criscuolo Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I've got an old PCI Mac ATI 7000 that came out of a Mac B&W that I want to reflash back to a PC rom so I can use it in a hackintosh. I've checked all the forum threads here and elsewhere and found several people who have done this successfully, but I've hit a roadblock. The technique I'm using is to boot MSDOS on the bare PC hardware with built-in motherboard graphics, and run the flasher program to burn a PC ROM image onto the card. The problem I'm having is that the flasher program hangs while accessing the ATI 7000 card. Even a scan to identify the card fails. This happens with either FLASHROM.EXE (v2.15) or ATIFLASH.EXE (v3.60). If I remove the ATI 7000 card, the flasher programs both complete a scan fine, correctly reporting that there are no ATI cards in the system. I've tried various combinations of the -f (force) and -pcionly switches, but always with the same results. Anyone have any suggestions? @(^.^)@ Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 What you want to do is pointless, this card wouldn't work anyway, it's not supported and would use VESA driver, withtout considering that it's also damn old. So better buy the crappiest PC card you find, it will still be better and will need no flashing. Or send it to Hagar for him to use it on his G3.
