[G4] Mac or PC Radeon 8500 card?

[Anthony, Jason]

Bummer that the sticker has been removed. The cards typically have the 102
part number sticker placed directly above the other sticker you listed. You
can enter the bios # (from Apple System Profiler) on that page I showed you,
but it will return that is a mac card because (obviously) the card is using
the mac bios whether it was flashed or not.

I can't think of any other way to tell the pc from the mac version. Your
observation that the ports are layed out differently might be the solution.

good luck,
Jason

Thanks Jason, but I can't find any 102 number on the card.
I tried to register the card at the ATI web site, but it's not very Mac
friendly (lots of info and utilities, etc. to help PC users register their
cards). The registration wizard needs the 102 part number or the BIOS
number, neither of which I can find on my card.

I found a 109 number: P/N 109-85700-00 silkscreened on the card itself,
which I assume is the part number.

The only sticker had just one code number: LN1C02950

No stickers with serial number or 102 number. Should they be there? Could
they have been removed?

Hope I didn't get screwed with a flashed PC card.
I contacted ATI re. identifying the card and numbers in order to register
it. I'll keep you posted.

Chris
