I tested NEWAX 0.12 on my GeForce6200 and it did not install, as expected.

By the way, from the PCI specifications:

6.3.3.1.2. INIT Function Extensions
PC-compatible expansion ROMs contain an INIT function that is responsible for
initializing the I/O device and preparing for runtime operation. INIT functions in PCI
expansion ROMs are allowed some extended capabilities because the RAM area where
the code is located is left writable while the INIT function executes.
The INIT function can store static parameters inside its RAM area during the INIT
function. This data can then be used by the runtime BIOS or device drivers. This area of
RAM will not be writable during runtime.
