Thanks, but now I have another problem. The card was already flashed for
Mac, but it just isn't being recognized by the Mac. The 3Dfx extension loads
with an X, and neither the flasher nor a "3DfxChecker" I found will see it.
Apple System Profiler doesn't see it either. I tried putting it in a PC as
a secondary card, and Windows picked right up on it and installed drivers
interestingly enough. I tried it then as a primary card, and got no response
at all.
>From there, I borrowed my dad's Voodoo3 and the Mac recognized it, flashed
it with Mac drivers, I was able to use it, then I was able to flash it back
to PC and put it back in my dad's computer. So, I know the Mac can handle it
and the drivers are setup right. Still, it's not recognizing mine.
Any tips anyone? I've tried flashing it in a PC but the only flashing tools
I can find either can't see the card either, or give me some error about an
unknown flash rom (I suspect it's seeing the primary card, as it won't boot
(even without video) without one). Because Windows picked up on it, it seems
like it should be a functional and good card. I don't know what to make of
it...
Thanks,
Scott Holder
