Ditto on that. I had a brain fart and accidentally flashed my Voodoo4 with a Voodoo5 ROM and now it can't be re-flashed in either PC or Mac. With another graphic card being used, the V4 hangs my Mac in any OS below X. Unfortunately there's no way of flashing the thing in X. System profiler in X sees the thing but Classic won't so I can't re-flash it in the Mac. The PC side keeps saying that it's an unknown vendor so it gives me errors each time I try to flash it. Oh well I ended up getting a Radeon 7000. BTW any suggestions on re-flashing the V4 in X?
