Anyone have a working image of the v2 ROM for a Radius PrecisionColor 8?
I found this one on the forum but it's not working for me after writing to a 27C256 EEPROM (verified it as well after write):
My card has the 1.0 ROM and it works but for whatever reason, I'm unable to see a 1024x768 option when connecting it to a VGA LCD that supports 1024x768 at both 60/75Hz (Dell E153Pc). I see 1152x864 (which the LCD can't drive) and 640x480 works. I have a 10switch VGA to DB15 adapter and have tried pretty much all the combinations... Mode 1 (composite sync), Mode 2 (composite sync), Mode 3 (sync on v), Mode 4 (sync on h), and Mode 6 (sync on green) all don't work with the DELL. Mode 5 (separate sync) seems to work but when I use the switch combinations for various resolutions on mode 5, I'm only seeing 640x480 and 1152x864. So wanted to try a newer ROM.
Any help appreciated.

Help for a nubus Radius PrecisionColor Pro 24X ROM/firmware upgrade
Hi friends! I want to upgrade my nubus Radius video card to a newer rom version (now 1.50). I need compatibility with Mac OS 9.1. I remember in the nineties, Radius distributed these kinds of updates... Anybody of you have an application utility that can help me for the upgrade? Thank you all...
