Hi,
to reflash a card to be used on a PC from a Mac you have to do this on a
PC; usually flashing a PC ROM file ona Mac or the opposite doesn't work.
So to flash properly this v3 on a PC get :
- the 3dfx flasher v2.14
- the proper v3 3000 PC file
You'll find them on these 2 sites :

Hope this helps,
