HI-

Retail vendors of Mac parts ask around $400+. Doubt they sell many.
On eBay, flashed cards, equivalent to the Mac edition, go for between $100-$150 dollars.
I see original Mac cards like yours, for sale for between $150-$200. Again, they have stiff competition from flashed card sellers.

Actually, flashed PC ATI 9700's have dropped below $100 on eBay now. Unflashed versions average $30-$50 but can be had for as little as $10-$20 with some diligence and luck.

I may be on the verge of scoring a PC cheapee and would attempt to reflash but for the right price, I'd much rather have the "genuine" article for my lowly G4 Gigabit Mystic 😉

Apple did a little magic trick on the OEM 9700...it only works on MDD machines.

I tried booting one in a QS once and it didn't finish booting.

if u flash a 9700, u r better off using a hacked 9800 ROM as it will be more functional.

OEM 9700 is only card that combines ADC and Core Image on a G4. Rare Bird
