I did ask if it was some weird brand problem.
Explain Diamond card please. PowerColor is stamped on the box
Am I mistaking the chipset for the card? My "evilking3" powered by the
3dfx voodoo3 flashes between platforms easy enough, flashed the card for
mac bio's from the pc. Enough people use some brand of Voodoo1+2's and
threads on this list rarely explain the difference between a "mac
friendly" non mac voodoo card and a plain non flashable voodoo card..
Mark Benson claimed to have non accelerated video through OSX version
1.5 but "ungoddley slow", I quoted 10.2 which was wrong, the card being
a Voodoo 3 2000. If there are any Debain or other ppc linux users that
can use a pci voodoo card I'd be interested to know what flavor they use.
Thanks.
