10.3: Possibly make older video cards functional again
Authored by: seeker on Nov 07, '03 03:49:58PM

This is good news.

Here's the setup I have:
********
B&W G3, Rev. 2
OS 10.2.8 and OS 9.2.2
832MB of RAM
Newer Technology G4 533Mhz Processor Upgrade
Original Maxtor 6GB HD
Internal IBM Deskstar 40GB HD,
Internal Zip drive
External LaCie FireWire CDRW drive
SGI 1600SW flat panel
Silicon Graphics 1600SW Flat Panel Display with
ProPerformance III card
********
I just acquired the original video card that came in my G3. My plans are to pull out the G4 processor upgrade, put the G3 processor back in, install the original video card, attach another monitor and see if I can install Panther. If I can,while I am booted in Panther, I will try to run the "magic incantation" in Terminal, reinstall my ProPerformance III card and pray VERY hard that it will work. If not, then it's the $250 for the device you mentioned.

Here's hoping,
seeker
