4600 flash process
Ncc74656:
im considering buying a quadro. can i flash the AGP nvidia while booting off a PCI card? or do i need a PC to do this?
what rom form factor is the chip on the Nvidia card? so i can order a rom programmer for it.

This works in os9?
Ncc74656:
yea, the brief research i did shows that teh quadro is the same card as the ti4600 which is the best OS9 card available. but it needs hardware modifications and bios flashing to make it work.
so i was wondering if i can boot both an agp and pci video card on the G4 and either in os9 or X if i could flash the AGP card through the mac. so i dont need to buy a cmos chip reader.
