I bought an ATI Radeon 8500LE on ebay, and could not install the ATI catalyst 6.2 Windows 98 driver for it. When I run the setup.exe, it says it can't find a suitable graphics card. I then run Everest Home Edition, and the GPU is listed as "FireGL". I look up this card on the net, and discover it's a FireGL 8700 model. The problem is that this card does not have a Windows 98 driver. The FireGL 8700's "core" is 8500LE, but it's still a FireGL card, and not a 8500LE card.
Can I flash this FireGL card's BIOS, in order to transform it in to a 8500LE? If this is possible, I might be able to install the ATI Windows 98 catalyst driver for it.
