Trying to flash a card (details on THAT below) and I find all sorts of posts here and elsewhere that seem like they're for people with at least some experience already doing it. I need the "no idea what I'm doing/have never done this before" version, doesn't seem to exist. There's a lot of, "oh yeah, just run Graphiccelerator and it dumps the ROM..."
Okay, sweet. Where? What does the file look like? Will it be on its own or buried in a bunch of other system files?
Basically, everything seems to start at step 4 or 5, and/or omits steps the otherwise helpful person takes for granted, etc.
If there's a comprehensive resource for newbies, appreciate the share. Thanks!
THE ACTUAL PROJECT:
picked up a Sawtooth and was surprised to find a flashed 256MB 9200 in it. Works like a charm in Jaguar, Panther, Tiger (haven't tested in 9 yet because the Sawtooth also came with a surprise 1.2GHz G4 and runs OS X beautifully). I bought another unflashed card and want to get the ROM on the working one, onto the new one. Or, any ROM from this or the various sources that will work. I've got 3 pre-Quicksilder G4s to work from, a PCI Radeon 7000 (not flashed version, the actual Mac card), all sorts of other machines and peripherals to work with. Just can't seem to find all the steps spelled out anywhere.
