I just successfully flashed this card's BIOS. It's a Hercules Radeon 9800XT 256MB card. I found a newer BIOS here. This website has lots of video card BIOSes. I used FlashRom version 2.4, and I found that here. I flashed the card's BIOS from version 008.015.048.000 to 008.015.063.000. It probably makes no difference, but it was interesting to do.
I flashed the card back to the old saved backup BIOS, then back to the new BIOS again - just to make sure it all worked. My old saved BIOS is dated 08/Oct/2003, and the new one is dated 29/Oct/2003. I found out all of this BIOS info by running Everest Ultimate. It tells you this info. I'm sure there are other tools that can do this too.
