There is news about people flashing their radeon 8500 to 9100. I'm wondering if it is possible to flash pc radeon 9100 with mac radeon 8500 bios?

The rom size might be issue but suitable 8500's for mac flashing are hard to find.

I have a visiontek radeon 9100 128MB PCI card and I tried to flash it with a mac rom. It flashed, but I considered it a failure because of the wacky output (and the fact that the computer thought it had 16 MB of ram). I am currently looking for a way to force openfirmware to use the card.
