Guys,I need you help.

I failed flashing 9800 mac bto card(9800pro, dvi,adc,128mb)

This card comes with a pc version bios (regardless it is a mac bto), and I flashed a 9800 mac retail bios into it on my friend's pc.

After I plugged it into my g5, it shows nothing. However,through osxvnc, I can see from system profiler that the g5 has recongized the card as 9800 pro.

Then,I used Graphiccelerator and 9800 mac oem rom from the writer of Graphiccelerator 1.2.1. The results is that the info of 9800 simply disappeared from system profiler.

What shall I do now? It seems there is no card installed at all from the system profiler.

I need help.........

I don't understand - it's a "Mac BTO" from what company? If it was sold as a Mac card you're entitled to a Mac card rather than a PC card.
