Hi there
Here's all the numbers from the flash ROM, or at least I think that's what it is.
I have a socket that would fit it (it is, of course, soldered SMT to the board) so
could theoretically change it.
M28F256
-15C1
V58MA9722A

I presume this means its a 256K rom? And would that be bits or bytes?
Thats all the info I have on hand, unfortunately Matrox isn't exactly going to
tell you how to get out of paying twice as much for what is essentially an
identical card with a nickel more ROM chip on it.
That is what suxx about the Mac hardware market, or anything that isn't the
Windows world. Yeah, it works better but everything's twice the cost! Funnily
enough, the WIndows drivers are usually done by a team, the Mac drivers by one
guy..
