Number Nine Revolution IV Support for Macs?
daniell asks: "Does anyone have a number9 revolutionIV working correctly in a MacPPC under either MacOS, Linux or NetBSD? I know that a Voodoo3 PCI card for a PC can be flashed to have its BIOS (x86) replaced with OpenFirmware/OpenBoot (Forth), then you use the drivers and it works on a Mac, under Linux PPC, or MacOS. I figured you'd just have to download the latest Mac firmware for the revolution IV (mine was packaged for a PC, but the card has a sticker on it that says MAC) and flash it in place. This is pretty seemless...the card is detected and updated; going back to PC BIOS works fine too. However, the Mac drivers for the revolution IV claim they can't detect a revIV card, even though the firmware upgrader did. If anyone has a working Mac revIV card, which drivers and or firmware are you using for it and what needs to be done to get it working? Has anyone found a description of what the one jumper on the card does?"
