In the macrumors post that I linked in a previous reply (top of this page) is an attachment.

Try the get-new-world-rom.command script first.

So, if I understand it correctly, I have to install DirectHW.kext first by using KextUtil.sh, right?
And then I have to put flashrom binary into what? /usr/bin/ ?

Wow!!! Great addition! Make sure to post about it at System 7 Today as well! :)
Need to dig out a 9250 and test it on my 8600.

EDIT:
I see that you already did ;)

A bit more detailed instructions would be helpful. All I can see at the moment is a ton of .c files. Do I have to compile them first? And where/which is the script you're talking about?

Try the get-new-world-rom.command script first.

The read-rom-internal.command might work but it might cause a hang. It would be interesting to know if there's a Mac that this method works with. @dosdude1 has a linux version of flashrom that uses this method which works for some Macs.

ATI Resource Manager was the real trick for pre-OS9 compatibility: later versions crash at startup, but fortunately the last MacOS 7.6-compatible version seems to have shipped with undocumented support for the Radeon 8500 :-D

That's an interesting detail. I'm trying to tackle the latest ATI ndrv problem with "silent upgrade" Mini in the other thread and I also concluded that ATI Resource Manager could be responsible for hangs at startup.

Full steps to reproduce the modifications are included in the download. The gist of it is similar to what Bolle did for the 9250 in MacOS 9: binary edits to put the appropriate PCI ID in the right places.

Which extensions and drivers did you change? A bit more information could be useful to others. Thanks!

New listing is a 1.42/1 GB/128 GB SSD. It has a little bit of yellowing on the body but is otherwise in good condition. Mac OS 9 pre-installed and the auction has no reserve:

It comes with USB speakers, a period Apple mouse, and the power adapter.
