Thanks for the infos. There is a DDR version of the FCode ROM (for PowerPC-Macs) available. It should be possible to modify this for DDR2, but I figured that this may have been done already by some enthusiasts. Since there never was a Mac version of the GeForce 6200 in the first place, this is already a BIG modification in itself: I understood it to be a modified 6600 ROM. Great work indeed! DDR2 should be an issue of the table contents for timings and speeds (to set the correct values, or fry the card…) Anyway, thanks for responding!
