Re: No display output on this ATI Rage 128. Is it a Mac product or just defective?
Posted on Today, 03:05
I have a MAC edition Radeon 9600XT with DVI output . I managed to get it working on a PC by flashing it with a PC compatible vBIOS . DVI output does not work, however VGA output works but only on the D VI-A port when using a passive DVI to to VGA adapter . Something similar might be possible in this …

Wouldn't flashing it with a PC Rage 128 video BIOS possibly allow it to work ?

So presumably you are now testing with another PSU, if I understand correctly. Is that other PSU known to be working and tested recently ?

I see no config options for ISA PnP in BIOS screenshots in manual, so this thing likely does not have ISA PnP support . A baremetal test running DOS with a non PnP ISA card that requires DMA and an IRQ (making sure there are no IRQ conflicts with the gazillion serial ports that are integrated) would …

Also, SSDs are so lightweight that having one held in by just one screw in a 3.5" drive bay seems very reasonable to me . You can add a cable tie or two if it makes you feel safer .

The first concern should be stability. If it works, I would not fight it and leave it at 2X . If it does not work at 2x, running it faster (4x) will not improve it (prevent it from crashing) and 2x likely won't be much of a bottleneck, if at all on your system anyway. If you have not already done so …
