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 : http://welcome.to/stantoworld or http://www.3dfxliveson.org/ Hope this helps, Thierry -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
