The Radeon 9700 Pro (2002)

One of the most iconic GPUs ever released, the Radeon 9700 Pro would go on to be the main driver for many in the era of games such as Half-Life 2/Source Engine, Doom 3, FFXI, City of Heroes, and World of Warcraft.

Under federal #ATI law, records must be released within 30 days of their request.
in late 2021, I asked the Public Health Agency of Canada for a memo it had produced for the incoming minister. The two-page memo was just provided to me -- 718 days later. #ATIPFail #ATIFail #cdnpoli

So this ATI Radeon 9000 Pro card is of the type made by Sapphire for PCs, it seems. It doesn't have the SF-MF switch that Mac firmware sites talk about. Moving the NTSC-PAL switch makes no difference (nor removing the jumper).

I get scrambled video on the PowerMac G4 with the PPC ROM applied, and can't see any obvious way to change this.

Does anyone know what might be needed to change on this card to make it work with the Mac?

The humble ATI RAGE XL. Bought it for $13 with free shipping, and the thing looks brand new! Is someone actually manufacturing new ones? or is there just a TON of new old stock?
