I obtained two Matrox Millenium cards for the PC. One has 2MB, the other
has 4MB.
I put the 2MB in my 8500/180, and ran the ProgBios program to update the
BIOS for the Mac. The BIOS version was 1.16.026. Well, I tried it several
times with that card, and each time it tried, it said that there were errors
when flashing the BIOS and to try again.
I looked at the Matrox site, and found a newer (much) BIOS version, 3.0.1.
When I try to run the ProgBios program this time, it will breifly appear,
then vanish. The same thing happens when I try to run the older ProgBios.
Did the failing flash to the 2MB card render it useless?
