Favour to Ask of a TiBook or iBook Owner
Posted by: Phipli on 2023-05-01 08:07:16
Does anyone have a TiBook or iBook with Radeon Mobility Graphics? Could you run a program to save the ROM from the card and send me the resulting file?

Transferring files aside (you have a better idea of your setup), it should only take 5 minutes.

I'm trying to hack a PC video card into working and can't find a Mac Radeon Mobility ROM online 🙂

I think I specifically need a 2002 iBook, or a NON-DVI TiBook 667 to 800MHz.

I have a 667, but it's a Radeon 7500. There were two 667s 🙂

Looks like you mean 550-667

Cheers, you're right, sorry. Someone else said the other. I'm not very knowledgeable on the G4 era. I only ever owned a Mac Mini (and know what GPU that had).

I'll double check the iBook too

iBook would be the "Mid 2002", AKA the M8600, M8602 or the M8603. They're 600 or 700MHz.

I have an iBook, but it's a 933 with a mobility radeon 9200, which came out in 2003

I've got an iBook & a TiBook with this GPU! Let me know what program to use for this.

I'll drop you a PM.

Other people, still say if you have one in case it isn't quite what I'm looking for 🙂

Hey, thanks for responding, but be aware that by "Radeon Mobility" I mean a specific chip, not the general family of chips. It's the "mobility" version of the Radeon 7000.

Sadly I hit issues in that it looks like the ROM isn't stored in the usual way, so I'll need to learn more to work out how to get a copy. Beyond me at this moment in time.
