a lot, it's not windows,
enough to loop round a data structure configuring registers, and other
platform specific stuff.
just the loop would be enough to break it, wrong byte code, but it would be
stopped long before it got to that stage.
it does not matter what is in it, just that we can get a utility to
read/write it.
save the pc crap out, read a mac card & write it to a new card.
ATI must have such a utility in their manufacturing plant.
Problem is all the cards here in china are AGP for p.c, if they were pci I
could locate the manufacturer and get the utility with little problem.
that's the problem with the ggp shit, you only get 1 display card, with pci
you can load her up.
