Extracting ROMs from integrated Video Cards

[Phipli]

Is there a way of obtaining the ROM for built in video chips like the Rage II Pro on the beige G3. In a way that would allow you to flash it to a PCI version of the card? Or is that just nonsense?

If the answer is yes, how would I go about it?

Does the Rage II Pro use the same ROM as the II+? Or are there two different versions baked into the Beige G3's ROM?

There’s a question for @joevt I guess. In my mind it sounds plausible. You can probably find out the version of the ATI firmware (ndrv?) contained in the ROM using Hex Fiend.
