>>what it should about the card. It does work in the PC just fine.
If it works in the pc you probably haven't flashed it at all - which
is good news really as you can try again - I just flashed another two of
the 64MB Sapphire model with absolutely no problem at all on a windows
98se box. There are many kinds of pc cards though some have sdram and
require the two step flash - and some have ddram and a one step flash
with the mac 208 firmware will finish the job.
There are also two methods of flashing the cards - one where the
card is in the pci slot but the windows box is running the monitor with
the onboard video - and one where the monitor is actively running from
the card to be flashed. Both methods require the flashrom info in dos to
id the pci card. With the card id you instruct dos to replace the
firmware with the first step of two for the sdram card - or insert the
whole of the mac 208 bin firmware for the one step ddram. Then you shut
down the win box and move the card to the mac.
The second step for the sdram card is to install the full driver
package and run the mac flasher with the 208 bin and reboot. The ddram
card just requires the full driver install before booting with the
monitor attached to the card.
As far as I know none of the flashed cards react well to hard disk
sleep - hard disk spin up usually results in screen artifacts that are so
bad a reboot is required.
Nor do I know whether the latest ati drivers will work - the driver
which definitely works in OS9+ and OSX 10.1+ is the Oct 2002 version.
