yes and no. it depends on if the ATI videocard has a flashable rom.If it has a flashable rom, you can flash it to the mac rom. If not, no. 68K's liberated: 4
68Ks adopted to loving homes: 2

The only PC ATI graphics card that has been flashed succesfully was the Radeon 8500, this is an AGP card though.As far as I know the 3DFX voodoo card can be used in a mac, they can be flashed without a PC AGP GeForce 2 MX cards can be flashed fairly reliably. Some people have managed to make them work in a blue and white G3 with PCI slots but nothing earlier. I think the the Matrox G200 can be flashed easily aswell
