If I hear back anything, I'll try to report back here. Among the other cards supported, this is what is listed for the 9800: Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition (128 and 256 MB), rev 114, 120, 130 and 134 A few months ago, OWC Tech Support, I believe said the last time I was asked to get the ROM v 201 off this card, to be aware that the 9800 might have changed from earlier versions, so this ROM may not be a working one on earlier cards. I don't know ... maybe Perrier will provide us with further insight ... or at least a bottle of sparkling water. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
