Brian,
I have procured an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB (the "original"
version with the R350 core - it looks exactly like this:

What Mac ROM did you use to flash your 9800? There are 3 versions of the
Mac Radeon 9800 with 256MB RAM. I'm leaning towards "revision 103"
(http://campahunta.free.fr/Downloads/ROMs/ati_ret_9800special_103_agp_full.zip),
but should I use one of the other two revisions (126 or 134) instead?
It'd be great to know what you used, since you already got yours working.
If you have a different version of the card, please also let me know.
Thanks.
--- Amir
