Hi guys, I recently got my hands on an ATI Rage 128 GL PCI card but it doesn't seem to work on any of the PCs I try it on, get GPU error every time and no screen but you can hear the OS starting.
Tried it in my TC3100 server (ServerSet LE), DFI Lanparty NF3 UltraD and a motherboard from an HP ML110G4 server.

Is it broken or are my boards all too modern? The card is identical to this one: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/common … e128_GL_PCI.jpg

Test the capacitors with a multimeter set to continuity mode (beeps) and look at the output of the caps. The card would always work in modern systems regardless of the PCI revision.

Did you try it on older boards? It could be a Mac version.

My oldest PCI equipped board is probably that P3 server, otherwise some Socket A gear.

Is there an easy way to see if it's the Mac version? I think it is....any way to reflash it?
