Switch to insert mode ("edit" menu) and paste. Upward "mcuc" is a long string of "F" where the EFI should be inserted. You can switch between decimal and hexadecimal by double clicking on the "dec" or "hex" text on the bottom left. Note its offset, as indicated at the bottom of the window. Look for "mcuc" (text search field) and locate the 2nd instance, near the end of ROM. Scroll down to the end, it should show a long string of "F". Move the mcuc section (last part of the BIOS) to make room for the EFI.Īt this stage you can trash the modified myrom.rom that only has one "MCuC".
If 2 instances are found, go to step 4.ģa. Open myrom it in text edit and search "mcuc". Then check if the ROM could hold the EFI. To save your BIOS on the DOS volume, typeīlocknum=`printf %d "'\`dd if=myrom.rom bs=1 skip=2 count=1 2>/dev/null\`"`ĭd if= of=myrom.rom bs=$size seek=1 conv=notruncĢb. Just navigate to your ATIFlash folder (no time to explain DOS commands here).
BEST GRAPHICS CARD FOR MAC PRO 2006 INSTALL
No need to install DOS (enter 1 at the first prompt, then 2 at the 2nd prompt). Shut down and insert your PC card, remove all other radeon cards (for safety). Download the iso ( fdbasecd.iso) and burn the image with disk utility.ġc. Create a DOS volume with disk utility (it can be added to an existing partition), put the latest version of ATIflash () in the volume.ġb. Work in progress (by Netkas), so be warned.īefore you start, It's always safer to enable file and screen sharing on you Mac Pro (system prefs/sharing). Notice: the 6870/6850 ROMs are designed for 64-bit EFI Mac Pros (e.g. It's better to make your own ROM, that is, your card's original BIOS + Apple's EFI (ideally, EBC for compatibility with old Mac Pros). This can cause wonky fan behavior or worse. Too many people here flash their PC cards with BIOS that were originally designed for other models. There's not point to flash a card on a hack. EDIT: updated 5770 EFI - should work now.
