Hello all
I have an old PCI 3dfx Voodoo 3000 PCI for PCs and I
am interested in flashing it to make it Mac compatible
for my old 6500. I have been reading on xlr8yourmac
and 6400zone about potential problems/fixes etc. I
have downloaded the BETA 12 drivers and these sites
say that the ROM flasher is included in the this
package. I am just writing to get everyone's
opinions/suggests before I try this.
Also, currently my system only has 7.5.5. I did get
the driver files over to the machine, but it seems to
not like the file format (.sit). I know this is a
stuff-it expander file, but evidently my version of
stuff-it is too old to recognize the file. I have
tried upgrading stuff-it to the newest version the
"should" work but have had no luck. Anyway, I think I
may have to postpone my project until I can find an OS
9 CD that won't empty my pockets (something I have had
no luck with so far!), unless anyone else has any idea
why stuffit doesn't seem to be working correctly. I
am new to the Mac world, so don't rule out any
possible suggestions or mistakes I may have made.
Anyway, thanks for any suggestions anyone has. I got
this Mac about a month ago and would love to totally
reformat and clean the drive and put a fresh copy of
OS 9 on it. Ah well, maybe one of these days!
