> Thanks a lot for the link, I'll pull the stuff down when I get home. > Quick update, not had much time to play with computers recently :-( The updates on the site seem to be ROM upgrades for the card. I've a bad track record with ROM upgrades (1 motherboard and 1 CDRW consigned to the bin to date...) so I'm steering clear of those <G>. The Proformance upgrades won't play as I don't have a GA5.9.x card apparently. Still heard nothing from Formac. I think I'll look out for a secondhand 'standard' 16Mb ATI Rage card that would have been an original fitting on the machine for now, as I can't afford a new Radeon Mac-specific card at this time of year. Most of the cards on Ebay at the moment are AGP cards from G4s so I'll keep an eye out for something suitable. Just as a matter of interest, does anyone out there have any experience of the Formac GA12? I know absolutely nothing about it, no idea about how much RAM it has or anything. The bloke I bought the Mac from had it fitted when he bought the machine as he's a Graphic Designer and asked the nice man in the Apple shop to put a decent card in for him. He couldn't remember anything about the specs. The only other thing is that according to the sticker on the back of the machine, it was born in July 1999 and was always a 450 but only had 128Mb RAM originally. I've had a poke around inside and it definitely has the Rev B IDE chip with the 420 or whatever after the chip model number (apparently all 450s had it as standard) so I can happily plug in a slave IDE drive, which is nice.
