Reflashing a 5500 mac.
31.03.09 at 09:32:44  
I did a search but didnt find anything. How difficult is it to reflash a mac card for use on a pc? I thought I remembered reading that it was possible. Ive never tried anything like that so I was wondering what it involved. Or maybe someone out there would be willing to do it for a price?   Wink

Really no big deal !
You need a flasher, the bios file and a boot disc to boot into DOS.
I can send you the files if you like.

I did it : it very easy !

first go here (http://3dfxbios.stantoworld.co.uk/)

Create a boot disk or floppy, put the 3dfx flash program and BIOS wanted.
When your are in DOS, just call the flash progam, then follow the instructions.
