Title: Help V3 PICASSO 960 PCI
Post by osckhar on 13.05.04 at 23:41:46

Hi at all, ;D

V3 PICASSO 960 PCI SGRAM MEM 5ns :o

Well, I have the next problem. This card is only for MAC. Then, I have flashed the bios and I have utilized V3 PCI SGRAM BIOS but the card doesn't work.
Some advice? Perhaps is not possible to utilize it under PC... :-/

Regards,
Oscar

Hm, I do have the same Card (Villagetronic MP960), but I never flashed it of course...

Since this is quite a special design (unique PCB layout), I doubt a PC Bios could work on it.

I hope you have retained the original Bios as a File.

Anyway, you could only try to re-flash it over again, using a Velocity or V3-SGRAM Bios, for example.

Thanks FalconFly :D

The card is very nice and genuine ;D. Mem 5ns, 2 IN (perhaps Tv-Out) and PCB blue... ;D

Somebody can make a mod with the original bios V3 PCI SGRAM for the Villagetronic MP960 PCI under PC?

Indeed not very helpful Lecram ::)

Anyway, from what I recall from memory, I've actually never heard of anyone successfully flashing/using a Mac Voodoo3 in a PC...

I guess that's the reason :-/
