*shrug* id have to google to find out what the v is signifying! *Shrug* not sure the difference or significance of the "V" maybe it just means another "Version"? So if os8.6 supports 2d accelleration on the R100, RV100 + R200 then surely it must be supported on the RV200! (Radeon 7500) but it just wasnted the card that was produced in graet numbers for whatever reason. like consumer pricing/grading strategy they employ
I think they are STRONG + LIGHT versions of the same cpu type. Original radeon mac edition (R100) a closer relative to the Radeon 7000 (RV100) Vs the "V" modified/revision/reversion? (RV100) which would make the
#Mac os 8.6 rom series
Then u see there is some type of connection between the original series (R100) If u follow the naming convention of the gpu itself and not the marketting name Original radeon "mac edition", DDR, SDR etc all are "R100" gpu type Wheras the radeon 8500 is just the regular old "R200" gpu chip The radeon 7000 is put down as a "RV100" type gpu The 9000 is a bit different i understand because it was a die shrink or a new stepping of GPU?Īnd the radeon 7500 is put down as "RV200" Im hoping that getting a 7000 or 7500 with a green pcb will be basically the same as an 8500.
#Mac os 8.6 rom code
Its probably the same code that makes it work for all of them.
I think if the rom is properly flashed it should (it must?) act the same way because programming is programming. If i did a pram reset or nvram reset they immediately somehow snap the graphics up from 800圆00 or something to a proper aspect ratio fit for my monitor type resolution whether thats 1280x1024 or 1680x1050 im hoping you are wrong!!! because my 8500 + 9200 mac edition cards work fantastically on sttart up. I also think the original radeon retail mac edition card (radeon VE or Radeon 7200 later called)Ĭlick to expand.hmm i disagree here. So according to this april 2002 was a major cutoff point as geforce4 TI and radeon 7000 both came out then.Īfter that it was just 9xxx series + FX Geforce The Geforce 256 was released on Oct 11 1999 The first RIVA TNT released on June 15, 1998 Os8.6 support is trickier to research aswell being obscured by many different MacOS versions over the many years!

Heres some notes i put together last nite about the timing / release dates of gpus related to mac os 8.6 vs mac os 9.2 - most people know the os9 ones.
#Mac os 8.6 rom upgrade
Its great performance on a g4 450mhz with sata pci disk storage upgrade
Lke 1995 1996 1997 and that why i prefer to use os8.6 for compatibiltiy with these apps i use
#Mac os 8.6 rom software
Im using software + hardware packages that were made in the mid-late 90s Please share if u have any comments that can be constructive Then the 7500 must aswell given that it was out in July 2001 So my thinking is if the 8500 supports it. Its my understanding that the 8500 can have 2d accelleration working under os8.6? Work fine in os8.6 but have no accelleration support such as the 9200 + 9800 etc)ĭoes anyone have experience with attempting this in combination with os8.6? Maybe the radeon 7500 can aswell? (as opposed to the 9xxx series cards that if the radeon 7000 can get 2d accelleration working in macos8.6 the real mac edition cards are mostly on GREEN PCBS and they have 32MB of ram not 64mb. I wish i was skilled enough to relace the rom file and reflash it myself but thats above my comfort level (lol) so im probably just going to order a real mac edition card on ebay. i just dont want any of these little headaches anymore i just want the right card that works 100% good always as long as im using os8.6 + 9.22 - some people are lucky and buy the right perfect hardware combo from the getgo. There is a workaround i guess if u are only using one monitor off hte card - i think if u use a dvi to VGA adapter and attach the monitor to the DVI port this way, then theres no problems at all! and the problem with resolution on the vga port could probably be fixed by adjusting monitor contrl panel. effectively ruining dual display ability because when i try to boot with this sapphire 7000 card in my b+W g3, if i have the monitor connected to the VGA port, the screen doesnt adjust itself properly + the resolutions are not set properly as they would with a real mac edition card (i noticed by observing my 8500 + another 9200 mac edition PCI i have) so the rom file has to have been hacked. and that they somehow yanked some of the code out of the rom that was to do with managing the vga port in order to get the size of the rom below 64kb. Basically without checking those facts for certain based on my experience with using the card im guessing it is the reduced rom.
