ati radeon bios flashing

[implodium]

I want to write new bios into my ATI Radeon 8500 64 MB LE using BIOS files on

omega site.

In order to do it, i need to get some info. I tried RaBiT v1.7 and radedit 1.1d.

Either NONE of them can read bios info under Windows environment , or i'm doing

something wrong ...

I managed to get SOME info from ati flash utility started under DOS environment :

ATI Flash Utility V1.3

Well, site is quite good. Although this page isn't what i'm looking for (it's for 9xxxx

model, whereas i have 8500 LE), it did help me find a correct BIOS identification

number required for download the right image from omega site. Thanks !

EDIT : If i'm correct, my card is ATI Radeon 8500LE 64 (as selected from list of

available items). The BIOS part number is 113-85707-101, which does not

exist on omega drivers site. Well, the tweaked drivers will have to suffice, eh ...
