Hi @Madr,

I think this is what you are looking for.
I think I had more luck than you searching ;-)


Best regards,

Thanks! I already found it though. Thing is i got a PCI version and need to find a G5 with normal pci slots and not pci-x because it won’t fit. Also it’s because of the voltage difference of the card. But i have to look that up better.

And thanks Intel.
 
Hello to you all, I am trying to flash an old FX5200 AGP card that is giving me some trouble in programming, I would like to try with the recommended nvflash version 4.41 to see if I can overcome the problem but the link to pctuning.cz does not work anymore. I have searched everywhere in the net but this particular version seems disappeared, may someone around help me? Many thanks in advance!

Ok, I reply to myself just in case someone else is in trouble with same "PROM pins not accessible" error.
After a deep net search I found the 4.46 version of NVflash, quite close to the recommended (but unable to find) version 4.41 and thanks to a forum discussion elsewhere I type the follow command line in this exact order:

nvflash -f (yourROM.rom) -4 -5 -6

This overcame the error above and I was able to succesfully flash the problematic FX5200.
