    Radeon 9100 that I can't flash

    Isn't the 128K because you installed a 128K EEPROM? The PC ROM was on the old 64K EEPROM? The PC ROM is invalid. It starts with 55AB but it should start with 55AA. The problem appears to be that bit 0 of every byte is always set. The PCIR signature was read as QCIS No. You don't have address...

    Radeon 9100 that I can't flash

    That appears to be the correct device in Open Firmware. Both screenshots shows a ROM of 128K (in the reg property for the ROM BAR at config address 0x30). All the info comes from the PCI card (except the R2AD property), not from the ROM since the ROM has an invalid PCI header in both cases...

    Radeon 9100 that I can't flash

    ati_hack_unique_9100_126_pciagp_full.rom appears to be one I created. It has an older ATY,Fcode version 1.85 and is missing AGP properties. It has been greatly modified with many words made external and given custom names. ati_8500_227_250-250_full.rom has ATY,Fcode 1.94 and has AGP properties...

    Radeon 9100 that I can't flash

    The agp device is the pci host controller for the AGP slot. PowerPC Macs can have multiple PCI controllers each with their own PCI bus. The AGP graphics card is probably a child device of the agp device. agp is a devalias for the pci@f0000000 device. pci0 is another devalias for the same...

    Radeon 9100 that I can't flash

    My guess is that one of those empty locations on the PCB may be for a different type of flash chip, but I have no references to base that on. Compare with other Radeon 9100s?

    Radeon 9100 that I can't flash

    I copied your last image, cropped the chip, and went to Google Images to do a search for the image. It says this: It links to this Datasheet: https://www.futurlec.com/Datasheet/74LVC/74LVC574A.pdf I suppose there's two of those to buffer 16 address lines. You want to buffer 17 lines A0-A16...

    Macintosh IIcx custom ROM

    68K Macs stopped at 2 MiB. The first 1MiB ROM is probably this one: 067c.15f1 1991-10 - 420DBFF3 - Quadra 700 & 900 & PowerBook 140 & 170 These are the 2MiB ROMs: 067c.30f1 1994-05 - B6909089 - PowerBook 520 520c 540 540c 067c.30f2 B57687A5 - PowerBook 550c 077d.10f3.1...

    My Mad B&W G3 Setup!

    I don't know about tab completion in MPW. People made patches to MPW to add features. - PopupFuncs 2.8.1 - MPW Technicolor 0.9.6 - MPButtons 2.2 With MPW, every menu can be modified and commands added (including shortcuts). I suppose a command can help with tab completion. It could present a...

    Power Mac 7500-9600 Bus Speed Overclocking

    Attached. These and the HammerHead ERS were posted to the DingusPPC Discord server. They must be to survive living behind a PCI bridge. The interrupt per slot is not sufficient to determine if an interrupt is for a particular driver. The driver must check its device to see if the interrupt came...

    Power Mac 7500-9600 Bus Speed Overclocking

    Not sure where they come from. By "further reading", do you mean the "Related Documents" section of the HammerHead ERS? TNT System ERS - don't know TNT Control/Kaos ASIC ERS - don't know TNT Bandit ASIC ERS - yes Grand Central ASIC ERS - yes djMEMC and MEMCjr ASIC ERS - don't know MacRISC...

    Radeon 9100 that I can't flash

    Looks like the ROM did not get applied correctly? Can you use a flashing utility to read the ROM? What does .properties show for the GPU in Open Firmware? Does it show that a PCI Option ROM exists and is 128K? If so, can you map it in Open Firmware and dump the hex?

    nubus scsi card any benefit?

    Mesh does not appear to have 53CF96 registers. supermario does not appear to have any MESH code. HardwareInfoFlags in the NKHWInfo struct has a flag bit nkHWInfoFlagSlowMESH but supermario and NanoKernel has no code that sets it or uses it.

    nubus scsi card any benefit?

    Setting SCSI speed might not be a SCSI controller register setting. It may have something to do with SDTR messages? I haven't looked at the SCSI spec. I don't think MESH or CURIO has SCSI chips used in Power Macs has a register for SCSI speed. joevt — 2026-05-18, 3:03 PM Heathrow in Gossamer...

    Micro-Cap II for Macintosh

    The website has Micro-Cap 5 to 12. Micro-Cap II, III, and IV are earlier versions? https://gotroot.ca/spectrum/www.spectrum-soft.com/aboutus.html I guess Micro-Cap V and Micro-Cap V 2.x exist on the website as Micro-Cap 5 (v1.3) and Micro-Cap 5 (v2.1.2). Here's a recent post from a person that...

    Reverse-Engineered ROM sources for Mac 128K, 512K and Plus

    I think that #2 should be done first (unless you already have an address name map somewhere?). Then #1 can be compared with that using a script. This would apply to the Mac Plus since there's no Apple supplied rom map for the earlier Macs. The same source code in your repository is used for 128K...

    Looking for Formac ProMedia 40 ROM Rip

    the ndrv that is in the fcode image of the PCI Option ROM is responsible for controlling a display in Open Firmware and in Mac OS (handles detecting a connected display, and setting resolutions and color depth and color palette). I extracted the ndrv from each fcode image as a .pef file for...
