Hello!
I'm looking to add a Rage 128 Pro to my collection.
But I'm seeing that the nicest ones are for Mac. They look much better than the ones for PC.
Is here a way to flash or mod this particular one for PC?
Has anyone tried it?

Just flash PC BIOS to it (if it has flashchip), the Cards are almost same as PC Versions.

ROM Chip Size may differ, Mac ROM Chip is bigger for " OpenFirmware".
PC-Bios File is smaller in Size.

So its much easier to Flash Mac Card to PC Version, for PC to Mac sometimes the ROM must be upgraded with a bigger Chip.
I upgraded a few PC Radeons for PPC.
