Title: Prompt, please! Drivers for Macintosh
Post by arse on 15.11.05 at 18:03:58

I have a videocard 32Mb PCI 3dFx VooDoo4 4500 and I would like to replace BIOS this card for Macintosh. On your site http: // www.falconfly.de/vsa100.htm I have found out the driver for Mac 3dfx Voodoo4/5 V1.1.2. Whether this driver for my videocard will approach?
In advance thanks!

you cannot flash a MAC-bios on a PC-v4 4500! but you can flash a PC-bios on a MAC-v4 4500!

if you have a MAC-v4 4500 you can use the drivers...

That's it, you can't flash a Voodoo1 nor a Voodoo2, since they have no BIOS. You'll need at least a Voodoo3 in order to manipulate the BIOS.

So, have you been able to do what you wanted?

voodoo3 pci should flash to mac with no problems.the complete package can be found here (search for Voodoo3 Driver Beta13 includes latest V3 Mac ROM + Flasher)

a regular voodoo4/5pci cannot be flashed to mac,if memory serves.
