whats what
Hi,
I.ve been using the file P14900.130 for a few weeks now. It is the PAL version clocked at 250/200. Seems to be bios 7.008. (can be easily edited to be 250/250) They sent it to me for use on my Sapphire 8500LE 128mb. Works well, better than the previous one i had (i.e. a little faster :-) Stu |

I will take a look at making it work on ATI boards and getting the vendor ID correct.
(This is for 64MB boards right?) I will also make it 275/275.

OK I have it set for ATI Vendor ID, and it is clocked at 275/275, I will just look into a couple more things and then post it.

I didn't test it as I only have my AIW8500DV here, but it should work fine.
