I was home today, and had some improvements to be done in the house (some paint...)
But also managed to find time to play with my toys.
Among the spare parts i have collected all those years, i did found a full set of PC AGP video cards.
I have been looking to do some flashing for a couple of months now, but was a bit scared to damage a working computer in the process.
The first card was a radeon 9200, and this one didn't work at all after the process :-/
I had a radeon 8500 also, and the flashing process worked great in this one (in a powermac G4) 🙂 i removed the Nvidia card from the Powermac G4... this one will be great in the Cube 😀

Excellent! I've always been terrified of, and never have tried, flashing anything. :-/

Nice, I flashed a PC Radeon back in the day. Can't remember if it was a 7000 or 9200, but it worked great.

What is flashing?

It's when your go out in public with a trench coat on and nothing else, open it towards a crowd of people, do a little happy dance, then close it and calmly walk away.
🙂
OR
It's when you Change the Firmware stored on a card/device,
This firmware is stored using flash, so they call it re-flash when you change the firmware.
Usually doing this allows you to use this card or item in a way that it was never intended to be used.

Then maybe it's possible to fix the borked card by putting the original firmware back? Did you make a copy of the firmware before flashing? Or maybe you can download it?
