Using AGP 8x card in AGP 4x ADC compatible slot
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my Quicksilver 2001 800DP video from the stock nVidia GeForce2 MX 32MB card to an nVidia FX 5500 (8x AGP). After finding that it wouldn't boot with the new card (that is not even into firmware stage), I found and followed the tutorial at Mac Elite (http://themacelite.wikidot.com/pins-3-and-11) -- specifically, by taping pins 3 and 11. Now, it appears to boot, but without any video output (monitor doesn't receive any signals, stays/goes asleep). I don't have handy any alternative hardware to test the video card separately (to check for damage there to, though it's a new card) or to check for output from the DVI port, etc. I know my machine is still okay as I'm using it this moment (with the old video card). Has anyone else been down this path before? I've tried web searches, but always seem to wind up back at that article. Manoah F.

Re: Using AGP 8x card in AGP 4x ADC compatible slot
Original message from Manoah F. Adams (Monday, January 6 2014): Hi, Hello! I'm trying to upgrade my Quicksilver 2001 800DP video from the stock nVidia GeForce2 MX 32MB card to an nVidia FX 5500 (8x AGP). You forgot to mention if it is a flashed PC card or if it is a Mac variant. If it is a Mac graphics card you have better chances, but I suspect you should definitely try the DVI port too. If you have a second Mac available you could try to use Apple Remote Desktop to see what you Mac, running the FX5500 then, shows in the System Profiler. Maybe the driver is missing. Maybe the VGA port isn’t detected (while the DVI port is). And you would see that it is running correctly apart from the graphics card output. I know my machine is still okay as I'm using it this moment (with the old video card). Has anyone else been down this path before? You should definitely also zap the NVRAM to clear out graphics settings that have been left around for the former graphics card. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 That helped—and I hope I recall correctly—in one of my cases… I've tried web searches, but always seem to wind up back at that article.

Re: Using AGP 8x card in AGP 4x ADC compatible slot
If this card is a PC card, you’ll need to flash the firmware to Mac firmware before it will work in a PPC Mac (should work as a PC card in an Intel Mac if you have the newer nVidia drivers). You can get the firmware ROM at http://themacelite.wikidot.com/wikidownloads2. Flashing it may be a little complicated. It appears the flash tool used called nvflash is a PC DOS program, so you’d need a PC with an AGP slot to flash the card. Once flashed, the PC monitor will likely go black. If there’s a Mac nVidia flash program, you’d need a Mac PCI video card so you could see the monitor while flashing the AGP card. I’ve done this many times using a really old and cheap PC booted from a DOS floppy. Sometimes a ROM doesn’t work, but I’ve always been able to re-flash with a different ROM, and eventually get a fully functional card. It’s just a slight hassle. On Jan 6, 2014, at 5:51 PM, Manoah F.
