Radeon 9200 driver

[Brett B.]

I reloaded my G3 and now I wish I hadn't. I cannot find a driver for my Radeon 9200 to save my life...anybody have a link? ATI/AMD has been no help whatsoever.

might work, but I don't know for sure since I don't own one.

I tried all of those, two are just links to "Driver Detective".... looks like PC spyware to me.

The problem is that all the usual download sites have links back to ATI's old HTTP file server, which now redirects requests for that file to a page saying unauthorized access.

I have contacted AMD to see if they still have a copy somewhere, but wouldn't you know that my request has gone unanswered so far.

Try to install Mac OS 9.2.2 (use os9helper, if necessary). The latest ATI drivers for cards supported by your G3 should be included in the system software.

I have the driver for the Radeon 9200 on my own site. You can find it on this page.

The site is in Dutch (sorry for that), but the file is there and named 'ati-retail-9-2-2-jan2005'. I put it there because it took me a hideous effort to trace it on the web when I needed it, while, as you have noticed yourself, most links direct to AMD/Ati where the driver can no longer be found.

I use the driver on my own Beige G3 with Radeon 9200 and it works great. Oh, before I forget: the driver needs OS 9.2.2.

You guys are lifesavers. Thank you so much. I don't know why AMD/ATI doesn't have drivers for this anymore but they do have ones for Windows 98.
