Questions:
(1) Can I presume that I can ALWAYS flash the ROM on a PC version of this card to make it work on my Mac G3?
No, some cards have 64k roms and some have 128k roms. You cannot flash a 64k card to work in a Mac. Also, the card must be flashed in a pc
(2) Any issues on running this card on a Beige G3 in OS 9
No problems, but the Voodoo cards are faster in 9
(3) Any issues on running this card on a Beige G3 in OS X?
Some flashed cards have trouble waking from sleep. I am using one in my beige beast (g4 533, 10.2.8, 768M ram, etc) with no problems.
(4) Money is an object right now. Is this a decent deal?
Pretty good deal if it is flashable. On ebay, they tend to go for 20-30, plus shipping.
