It Didn't work :(
Authored by: Spelvin on Jan 28, '03 10:45:26AM

I have a similar issue as Hyperfranx. I have tried both an Aopen Geforce 2 MX 400 64MB and a Pine Technologies Excalibur GeForce 2 MX 32 MB AGP. Running a first gen AGP G4 with the latest Firmware. Initally I got nothing on the monitor when I had a Flashed Voodoo in a PCI slot. Once I removed the Voodoo either card will come up and read as a 1028F ROM however there are a lot of artifacts and lines on the screen. I am afraid that this is now an issue with the timing of the RAM on the cards as everyone else seems to have them working fine
:(
Also the only way I can boot at all is with the extensions off. If I try and boot 9 with the extensions on it hangs half way throught the load progress bar. I think this may be due to a resolution issue? This is all under OS 9.2 with the latest nvidia extensions. When I try to boot to OSX I get the inital Happy Mac and a color wheel in the upper left hand corner but once the machine goes to post all i get is a "light" gray screen and nothing else.

Frustrating but fun at the same time....Man the Voodoo 3 flash went so much easier ;)

thanks to anyone for the help.
