OS 9 Support Dropped By ATI?

Just noticed, when attempting to access the ATI site to check on current software for Mac ATI video cards, that the new AMD/ATI site no longer provides download links for OS 9 drivers. Fortunately I have copies of the last OS 9 software updates applicable to my various video cards. Might still be able to get a link through VersionTracker.

Hi Vernon

I would also appreciate a copy of that file. I have a Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb card, and I just upgraded it so that I could play some old games in OS 9 with a fast powerful card. Then ATI nixes their Classic support! Grrrrr

Also, is there a firmware update for this card that I would need as well. Do you have it?

You can send them to malachi_31 at yahoo dot com.

Thanks;)

Hi Carl

Just in case Vernon's is different from what I need, could you also email me a copy of that file? Is there a firmware update as well for my card that you might have? It is a Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb Mac Edition. Thanks:)

Hi Carl,

Is this installer you are talking about the same as the Universal4.2 Installer provided by a link further on in this thread?

If not, could you please send it to me at - sk at karma-lab dot com ?

I've been googling all day trying to figure out what to do about this Radeon 9000 Pro Mac I bought for my G4 QuickSilver. It was crashing when booting up and reaching the desktop - Conflict Catcher discovered it was a problem with some of the ATI Drivers which are apparently installed by OS9 automatically, so I need to try and somehow get newer ones... (I'm running 9.2.2).

I cannot believe that ATI simply dropped all of their Legacy Drivers for Mac OS 9. Their support site and system is pathetic. %@^#$%@^#% !!

Also, thanks eww - I downloaded the ATI Universal 4.2 from your site and I'll give that a try as well.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late response. I haven't been on the computer much of late. Anyway, I tried to send you the ATI files. Let me know if you received them.

Thanks, Carl - I did get the file. I'll post back here when I get a chance to try installing it.

Carl. I've been looking for the January 2005 ATI Updater throughout the web without success. Could you send it to me?
