@herd that's really cool, thanks! I've gotten a lot of good video card info from VOGONS. It's a great resource.
An eBay seller offered me a good price on a PCI Radeon 9200 SE. I haven't gone for it (yet). Based on the little research I've done, I expect the 9200 SE will have a device ID of 0x5964, which I don't think is supported by Mac OS at all. The 9200 and 9250 are 0x5961 and 0x5960 respectively. The different device ID is why the 9250 required a modified extension for OS 9 acceleration.
Does anyone know whether the device ID on these cards is set by the ROM? I've seen that on other ATI cards, for example a Radeon 9800 Non-Pro. Its device ID is 0x4E49, but if you flash it with a 9800 Pro ROM, it becomes 0x4E48 and is identical to a 9800 Pro in every way.
Maybe I should do a little experimenting with the device ID on the 9250 before jumping on the 9200 SE.
