Mine wouldn't boot with 2 video cards in it either, so I just used the ATI card, and it does continue to work during/after being flashed. That's because DOS doesn't use the card's on-board ROM. >Have you tried using Quartz >Extreme to turn on the Quartz rendering engine?

I downloaded the ATI drivers but didn't bother to install them since OS 9 works OK for what I use it for --- installing and booting OS 10!
