http://www.insidemacgames.com/previews/view.php?ID=35&Page=7 this is the article here that clams the radeon 8500 has driver compatibility with os8.6

thanks Gorgonops for that awesome breakdown!

so.. Interesting! that this article linked in the text i quoted confirms that the 7500 was basically a new version of the original Radeon  so much so that they direct you to read the review of the original radeon to get more familiar http://www.anandtech.com/show/585dated July 17th, 2000

http://www.anandtech.com/show/811 heres another article where the 8500 was again, lumped in + grouped with the 7500.  because theres a connection in the type of GPU chip that these cards use. the flagship product R100 gpu in the 8500, and the light "V"ersion or "V"ariant the RV100, in the...

just to state a few points simply; >>> i do believe that the radeon 7000 flashed PC /w 64MB reduced rom will work fine; as long as you use the DVI port + with DVI monitor, or use the DVI port /w VGA adapter i think the buggyness only happens if u try to use the VGA port as your main...

its not essential but its desired for me, os9 broke compatibility moreso then any other mac os version before it i think sidestepping the whole "is it essential" well no, nothing except breathing, eating, drinking is truly essential in this life; heh; i think the real point u mean to raise...

i dont think this one is powered by usb like i said it says its manufactuered 11/01/1999 usb 2.0 wasnt even out in november 1999 was it????? omg - is this a usb 1.1 zip drive? lol does it not support 480mbps usb 2.0 speed?

well - its possible the usb port's ability to get power is damaged somehow - so theres still a possibility that i might work via SCSI using external PSU!!!! without any repair whatsoever i also have a disk stuck inside the drive now that i cant get out because i cant power it up u can insert...

yea it came without it.. i saw an article online tho that explicitly stated it would power itself via the usb!! check this out: https://www.cnet.com/products/iomega-zip-250-mb-external-usb-series/review/ says so here on this page AHA!  i think i know whats going on - notice what they say...

happened to come across a zip 250 SCSI/USB (That also has hd50 scsi port on the back) but it came without power supply + does not seem to power up when plugged in via USB.  got excited and ordered the firewire addon for this specific drive which makes it a firewire zip drive!  butthen i...

im trying to talk myself into flashing my 7500 AGP card.. i just yanked it out of a pentium IV ill most likely end up replacin the 7500's absence in the p5 with the Radeon 64Mb 7000 PCI card that is not working out for me on mac.... after i flash it back to a PC rom because of its useless...

http://themacelite.wikidot.com/compatibility  this chart is a great resource too.. here are the ones with the "5" remarked are the ones with 2D accelleration + enhanced support for mac os 9.  this chart is a great resource too.. this chart is a great resource too..  originally when imade this...

i have a mac radeon 9200 mac edition PCI in my B+W g3 450mhz right now (which is running os8.6) it works geat... nice + fast.. but  i have had alot of issues getting the right version of the drivers + getting them installed properly on os8.6 right now my accell isnt working, and as far as i...

thanks for sharing - thats realy cool i vaguely remember those days 1997 etc i had a performa 6400 back then i was kind of clueless then and probably didnt even understand that i could upgrade the video or add a sound card. i was only into doing web design animation at the time learning...

cory: my personal interest is for ensured compatibility with software that has not been updated since the days of 8.6 being the current choice of os. software that was made by a company that was out of business before mac os 9 ever hit the shelves. i could absolutely just use the Rage128 cards...

another reason i made this thread; because ive had to go thru that process of "hacking them into working in 8.6" myelf a few times and id really love to get a document outlining the process together rather then finding myself blundering thru it 10 more times in the dark.

well thats just it Bunn; most people dont have time to test alot of things; which is why im making a thread asking for those special people that happen to be in the right place at the right time who feel like sharing info for the benefit of all - i would gladly test if i had one - i'll have to...

isnt therea nyone else around here that has a radeon 7000/7500 green pcb original mac edition card? who can either confirm or deny that supports accell in 9.2 or 8.6?

yea the proformance card is one i was reading about but i havent seen one or had any real world experience with it.. but i did own a matrox Mystique back in the day in 1997 on my supermicro P6SBA board + pentium II 300mhz! i remember the reputation matrox had for 2d cards, im assuming that the...
