No taping required but you've picked two problematical cards - the agp
6200 is well known for it's dislike of MDD towers - works ok for the rest of
the mac line but not recommended for MDD - pci may be ok - it's a try it and
see...

There was no 9250 model for the mac so the 9200 rom has to be hacked
with the 9250 DID and the flashed 9250 will show as a 9200. The vast
majority of the 9200/9250 pc versions were 64 bit wide and the mac version
was 128 bit. If your 9250 is 64 bit you will lose half the memory after the
flash - so a 9250 128MB card becomes a 9200 64MB mac card and so on....
