i was trying to flash the card last night but it says that the rom is locked
and i dont know how to unlock it! i tried to download ATIFLASH to unlock it as i couldnt find an unlock function with flashrom program
but the atiflash program didnt even see the card! so im stuck using my broken mach64 which outputs yellow graphics because of a broken inductor on the pcb
also my 7000 radeon is the 64mb version (PCI) by Sapphire and its presently flashed to mac bios
i was able to save the current rom i think? to a file of length 32768
someone told me that radeon 7000 wont work for DOS/win95? which is why i started trying to look for ati RAGE or Mach 64 cards or a RIVA128 PCI but i saw that theres a win98 driver for the r7000??? wont that work for win95 osr2.5 aswell?
i put this GA586VX Pentium 75 box together because my abit be6 did not want to power on.. no matter what i did.. but miraculously my ABIT BE6 board started working again last night - i have a coppermine PIII 700Mhz in that board.. with OSR2.5 installed running of a Matrox G400.
