Hi, Have just received a Rage 128 card from EBay auction, and am having trouble getting it to work in my 7300 (upgraded with Maxpowr G3 250MHz). The card was pulled from a B&W G3. I am running OS 9.2.2 and have 296 MB Ram.
The card is not completely dead because Apple System Profiler recognizes it and provides card details. The problem is that on startup all of the startup graphics are distorted with vertical lines. The computer then hangs just before the desktop appears. I get the same result with my applevision 750 (and adapter) and a VGA NEC multisync. Same result with Apple OS 9.2.2 drivers and ATI October 2002 Update. For that matter same result with no ATI extensions on. When I run both monitors, with startup on the non rage card monitor, I get to the desktop without a problem. However, as soon as I move onto the Rage card monitor, graphics become distorted and the screen ultimately goes black. My questions: (1) Is there enough life in this card to suggest that there may be a fix for my problem. (2) Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, running a Rage 128 (in a pre-G3 PM) pulled from a B&W G3? Did you have any or similar installation problems? How did you fix them? Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Wayne -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
