I just purchased an ATI Radeon 9200 off of eBay for cheap to run on my Dual 2.0GHz PowerMac G5 (it's in the PXI-X slot). But the Mac won't see it and I can't find the right driver. Can somebody tell me where I can find them, if they exist, or if this card even works for my PowerMac? Thanks so much!
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Dual 2.0GHz PowerMac G5, PCI-X
Is it the Mac or PC version?
Mac drivers are all included, if it's a PC card you'd have to flash the ROMs to Mac, if that is even possible for that model.

There was a Mac-only version of that card. It was labeled the ATI Radeon Mac Edition 9200. Any other brand that ATI on a 9200 makes it not a Mac card. The "Mac Edition" part is critiacl but was only on the box.
This is a pretty primitive card. It was relased in the transtion time between OS9 and OSX and seemed to suffer from idenity issues. I have one and the OSX support seemed rushed. The card could not even support Quartz Extreme--a basic OSX video technology--without a hack that caused as many problems as it cured.
AMD wiped out the archived Mac drivers when the bought ATI. You might try third-party collections of drivers. Google "old computer drivers" to see a long list.
I hate to say it but I think you bought the wrong card.
