Does anybody know of a way to make a ATI RADEON 7000 PC PCI work on a MDD running 10.2?

Thanks :D

I wouldn't but HERE (http://pdownload.mii.instacontent.net/ati/drivers/R7000-ROM-208.html) seems a good place to do it.

Flashing is always good, not how about someone make a 9500 flash?:rolleyes:

Is the card "left over"? Then go ahead, you can only break something that isn't worth anything.
But... usually you can't flash 'em back. If something went wrong the card could be totally useless, and buying an original 7000 PCI Mac version can't cost too much now.

From the website:
This update will only flash Built-by-ATI Retail RADEON 7000 Mac Edition products.

I've heard that this doesn't work on the PC cards, and the website seems to indicate that too. However, if you don't care about the card, and are willing to lose it I'd say go for it. But if you can't afford to lose the card don't try it. If you do flash it, and it works, let us know okay?
