The ATI rom updater flasher may update all the cards it sees - though I
can't imagine it would be detrimental to the Radeon 7000 pci.
Graphiccelerator (or whatever)
<http://thomas.perrier.name/software/ATIcceleratorII.html>
will allow you to nominate the card to flash - simply load the 120 rom -
if you can get hold of one - in the card confirmation flasher and flash...
If you have trouble getting the rom try rummaging or posting the
strangedogs forum..
