Hi all Today I got a PCI Matrox Millennium graphics card, MIL2P/8N is the ID on the sticker. According to Matrox' website, there's a Mac version of this card. So I downloaded and printed it, then d/l'ed the BIOS flash util. I installed the card into the Mac and ran the BIOS flash util, it got past the 'flashing' stage to the 'programming' stage, then reported 'bus error. Flash bios again' which I did three or four times. No good. So I rebooted and now the Mac will only boot to a grey screen with the Matrox card installed. I did the CUDA reset, zapped the PRAM, no good. However the Mac still works OK with the original TT128.
Is there any key combination for the Mac to tell it manually which card to use? I stuck the card into a Win2000 PC and it worked fine there, and has a nice looking display too. So the card itself isn't defective. I would just like to return it to its initial state, where the Mac would boot with it in and the BIOS util would at least see the card and try to flash it. Any suggestions? Thanks Bolton -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
