Matrox has a flash updater that will turn a Millennium from a PC to Mac
card. It's on their web site, though not easy to find. It didn't do
quite what I had in mind, though. After the update, it was recognized in
one of our G4s (it wasn't before). But, through the Mac knew what it
was, it didn't work. I've yet to try it in my 8500s.
