I’m not sure. I am ready to try but dono what file to use?

Ok so as you have a G3 you shouldn’t have to cut pins 3+11.

This is the page you should be looking at. You will also find loads of other links to the ROM files in the left hand ATI links section.

I flashed using the vnc method and it worked well doing it remotely.

Hold on doesn’t the G3 B\W only have PCI slots? The first card you linked is AGP.

mine is pci. 66mhz 32-bit and three or four 64-bit 33mhz slots

I flashed the full 128k ROM version, not reduced.

As reported a few posts above, high density RAM is not recognised and you’ll only see a portion of the vRAM.

All the software and instructions are in this post.

Maybe this would be a better card to try? What do you think? I also have this one.

I've got the same card. Has anyone figured out the resistors for this one?

Hi, I recently purchased a Shappire Radeon 7000 PCI PC version. My intention was to use it on a G3 B&W. Since I don't have a PC, I first installed it in a secondary slot on the G3 and from the system profile it indicated that there was an ATI graphics card, but the screen was black.

I purchased 128kb EPROMS and with a TL866 I flashed the complete 128kb Apple 208 ROM. I replaced the chip and when I installed it, I have an image on the screen.

But as you can see in the images, it seems that something is wrong with the 3D acceleration. In OS9.2.2 I have tried several drivers for 7000, and even official ATI drivers for all their graphics cards, and always the same, it seems that something is not working. In the system profile it does not indicate that it is a Radeon 7000, only the data.

In 10.4.11, when booting, some jailbars appear while the apple logo is displayed, which then disappear, but in the system profile, it also does not show Radeon 7000, only ATI VGA. Also, a square shadow appears that follows the cursor.

To verify that everything is correct, I have applied the ATI ROM Updater from 208 to 226, and it runs correctly, and is shown in the photo, but the defects persist.

Does anyone have an idea what is happening? The Radeon 7000 does not require moving any resistors, according to what I have read. It does not seem to be a memory failure, they do not seem to be glitches, rather that there is no 3D acceleration.

The only thing that occurs to me is to try cleaning the PCI socket pins, although I do not think that is the problem.
