1. That's only the Radeon's faceplate, isn't it? No fancy Dremel cutting on the Cube, I hope.

3. Glad to hear. That point's vital to me, although I only own a 15" Studio Display. On the other hand, the new 20" LCD certainly is attractive to me...

4. I fancy that. Myself, I'm the proud owner of a Powerlogix 1GHz since about 2 weeks now, and highly pleased with it :thumb_up ... well, except for the COMA issue :sad

dremeling the cube's bottom-plate is not necessary, only if you want to be able to let both jack-nut screws from the vga-port to be where they belong. i took one screw away, that's it.

Is it possible to use Ati Radeon 7000 AGP 32 DDR which has only vga and s-video (no dvi)?

BTW: those cards are dirt cheap... cool.gif

Yes, indeed... although in my case the ADC converter adds to the price.

Anyway, anyone found a reliable source for the 30 pin IDC connectors needed for relocating the DC-DC board? In Germany, that is. Importing a pair from the US isn't very economical.

actually, i've tried others (the low-profile one) and it didn't work. right now i'm using the card hooked up to my sony 20\" CRT and via the apple DVI->ADC converter hokked to my 15\" ADC StudioDisplay simultaneously (the CinemaDisplay HD is arriving tomorrow :P ) i really suggest you're getting the card on the picture from SapphireTech! one other thing: from ATI, the card was sold as \"Radeon VE\".

OK McCoy. We need all the details step by step how you do the ROM flashing. For Dummy's not one line about what you need to enter. Step by stupid step. I have a PCI video equipped PC with a vacant AGP slot and Windows 98SE and I will buy the 7000 AGP if I am convinced you have told us enough for idiots to do it easily.

I am an idiot. And I want to do it. I love the idea of getting S-Video out of my Cube.

I also have the ATI Mac PCI 7000 video card in my B&W G3 if that will help.

okay, on special request, here's the step by step manual:

1. get a pc with an agp-slot and floppy-drive and
a graphics-card installed on board or in a PCI-
slot
2. get the radeon 7000 agp that looks like this
or has the same chip and ram on it:
http://www.sapphiretech.com/media/7000/18c...c-4433-34-F.gif
3. get the files needed here http://138.190.133.115/radeon7000.zip,
unpack the files and copy them to a dos-formattet diskette.
4. put the card you want to flash in the agp-slot
5. boot the pc into DOS, then insert the floppy-disk you made.
6. on the prompt, type "flashrom -pm 0 rad70mac.rom" ENTER
7. wait for the flash-program to finish. if dou don't have the right
card, then the flasher will tell it to you.
8. shut down the PC, pull the card out and put in into your mac.

hope this helps

Do you think this could also work with cards that have 64 Mb RAM, or is this for sure the only card?

if 64MB is the only difference it will work, im pretty sure, not 100%, but i'm pretty sure. the PCI 64MB works, that's for sure. so there's no reason that it wouldn't work with the AGP-card.

There is no mac 64meg PCI card. the Mac ATI card is only 32megs. Check ATI's site.

I wouldnt place any bets on it working, just look at the 128meg 8500 flash problems!

Sorry for ressurecting an old topic, but I could use some help here, mcCoy... got my Radeon 7000 last week and tried flashing it yesterday, but it didn't work :sad .

Details:
- Card: Sapphire Radeon 7000, 32MB DDR, P/N 1025-G4434; ordered here for €49; looks exactly like the one on your picture
- PC: old S3 PCI card to see what I'm doing; AGP graphics chip on board, disabled in BIOS
- OS: freshly formated MS-DOS disk with your software package aboard
- Error message of flash program: "timeout: asic not idle after rom write"
- Result: ROM was not touched; card's not working in Cube but is still working in XP without a hitch

Any suggestions? Might the onboard graphics interfere with the flash program?

Hoping for help, Armin

what output does "flashrom -i" give you? maybe the onboard-gfx-chip is an ATI also?

It only shows the Radeon. That I know for sure, because on the first attempt the onboard card was still enabled and flashrom didn't find any suitable cards. Disabling onboard video in the BIOS yielded a flashable card. Unfortunately I can't give you the complete output because the PC is located at my friends place few km away...
